I love Their, there, and they're. Almost everyone I know gets them wrong! And then there's the dreaded accept, except. I never could accept those exceptions. =)
Ok, maybe I need coffee first.

Ah, yes. I think I need to make a sticky post about there/their/they're.
I like you're "accept those exceptions" phrase. Maybe that will help us to remember that accept is a verb. Accept/Except might make a good Daily Quiz Question. Hmm...

Have you forgotten some of the "useless" information you learned in school? Could you use a quick review of the difference between "your" and "you're"? You're not alone! Give and receive helpful tips at http://www.cafemom.com/group/tutors

I usually remember their and there, but now you have me questioning if I have forgotten about they're. It is right up there with your and you're, so I am pretty sure I catch it....hmmm.
Accept and except are pretty obvious to me. Although I used to struggle with effect and affect, which might seem like common sense to other people. Someone on Kim's journal was nice enough to give me an easy way to remember the difference.
