I know it's a bit off-topic, but still, it's grammar related.
I must admit that I'm quite astonished by the number of English people who can't make the difference between:
  • their (possessive) / there (location) / and to a minor extent they're

  • it's (verb) / its (possessive)

  • than (comparative) / then (adverb)


Sadly, English native people mix them up so often that many non-native English speakers make these mistakes now.
Fortunately, very few speak French here, therefore you won't notice how terrible the French are at writing in their own language.
