lots of people get "there" , "their", and "they're" mixed up all the time writing things... but myself I miss the old term for corn dogs... "pronto pups"...

As in "Looky they're! There selling pronto pups!

And don't get me started on weiner raps!

I am an English MAJOR, but her mom goes ballistic every time the "their / they're" thing happens, so I've become conditioned.

"Irregardless" always drove her crazy. It does that to me also!!
