What the hell is a Grammar Anarchist?
You can be one! Since we don’t have a U.S. language, feel FREE to set your own rules -- interpret grammar YOUR WAY. You’re not in England anymore. Join the anarchy of U.S. grammar! Make your choices and preserve them in YOUR STYLE MANUAL. —The Grammar Anarchist
They all sound the same, but oh my, what a difference. Defuse this: There is a reason why they're so confused about their language. There (subject/noun); they're (contraction, they are ); their (possessive pronoun).
I just taught a lesson on homophones today. The kids are still confused about there, their and they're. I know some adults who are also still confused. :)

Many of those grownups are confused about the meaning of "homophones". That's why I'm yelling and rebelling!
