That's not a grammmatical error. it's the conflation of two separate words to create one, a bit like "fugly".Yeah that's another one, or how about "chillax" that winds me right up!
How do you console a pedant?Now gentlemen, stop being so grumpy. Their are lots of people (such as myself) who struggle with spelling and grammar, it's not there fault, I mean who would know they're their & they're from they're there's?
Thank God I've just had my supper. You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry.Don't get me started as to whether it is a grammatical error or a simple spelling mistake. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry

My wife says that. Get over it; I have.I used to work with a lady who used 'pacifically' instead of 'specifically' I used to count how many times she said it at meetings to while away the time

There, their, they're.
The English langauge is a man-trap. I'm lucky that I was taught the basics well as a child, and was able to grasp them. At the time, I sneered at those who didn't, but when I was older - particularly at university (same one as you, (2:2 Honours - oh the shame....!), I sat alongside people who also struggled with grammar, punctuation and spelling but had utterly brilliant minds that put mine way in the shade.I may be a teacher but I'm also Dyslexic. Struggled with it all my life. However, I have learned how to cope with it and developed strategies to stop it hindering my progress, firstly through school (I was in bottom set English class all way through school but still achieved my O level and Higher), University (2:1 honours) and now in my working life teaching kids. As you will see, one thing I still never get right is apostrophes. Most other things I have learned wee rhymes to remember grammar rules or how to spell certain, difficult to me words.
