EVERYDAY on Facebook or Twitter, I recognize the usage of improper homonyms. Does the correct usage not apply to social networks? Or, do people just subconsciously use these words......every.....day?
Homonym: Two words that have the same pronunciation, but different meanings and/ or spelling.
Formal Examples
They're- Contraction of the words "they are"
There- Usually refers to a place or a clause
Their- Belonging to or associated with the people or things previously mentioned or easily identified.
You're- Contraction of the words "you are"
Your- Belonging to or associated with a person
