This goes to you and the comment above you. You don’t need to flip out because he made a minor typo. Everyone makes typos, it doesn’t mean their grammar fails. However, the demotivational above is not a typo.
Actually, if you read the entire sentence, you’ll notice that the subject of the sentence was not the person writing, but grammar, therefore the term should be
Exactly- as you said, the subject is the grammar. This means that the term should have been they’re, not their, because their is possessive and grammar cannot own or use something.
This is because he is saying a typo is not a grammar fail. Placed in his context, it should have been ‘Everyone makes typos, it does not mean they are grammar fails.’
You are correct their is possessive, but the grammar is not owning or using anything in the comment you think needs correcting. The grammar is being owned by people who make typos. Therefore ‘their’ is entirely correct.
Correcting it to they’re is just really terrible English. ‘fails’ is a verb not an adjective or noun so ‘they are fails’ makes no sense if we are talking about correct English. ‘they are grammar mistakes’ would make sense but otherwise it should definitely be ‘their’.
You can use “their” in this sentence ONLY because he is speaking of one person and that person is the editor. And for that reason not only should the sentence not have been a run on sentence, it is perfectly correct with it’s usage of “their”. “They’re” wouldn’t have made any sense, I win.
Actually, it could be either “their” or “they’re”. First of all, it’s a run-on sentence and should have a semicolon instead of a comma. In the second phrase, the subject is “it” is the subject. “grammar” could be either another subject (if he meant “their”), or it could be describing “fails”, which would be a direct object (if he meant “they’re” that is).
As a fairly regular browser of the internet, and this site particularly, I am not unaccustomed to the inevitability of typos. I will just as willingly point out my own. But are you really saying that “Sucsessful” is spelled correctly?
Lol, yup just noticed that…
Sucsessful? Don’t most browsers have auto-correct these days?
What movie is this from? She actually looks more attractive in this pic than the leaked nudes….
No s**it. Ever heard of photoshop? Also, she’s 17 in the photos, I wouldn’t say I saw them if I were you. By the way, I did not (except censored one on every website, that is)
This is the final straw. I bid you farewell from my google reader, Very Demotivational. It was a good ride, but I can’t remember the last time you have made me even chuckle. It’s not me, it’s you.

They are* or they’re* grammar fails.
No, Noseman had it right. He’s not talking about the person being a fail, he’s talking about their use of grammar.
Actually, if you read the entire sentence, you’ll notice that the subject of the sentence was not the person writing, but grammar, therefore the term should be
Exactly- as you said, the subject is the grammar. This means that the term should have been they’re, not their, because their is possessive and grammar cannot own or use something.
This is because he is saying a typo is not a grammar fail. Placed in his context, it should have been ‘Everyone makes typos, it does not mean they are grammar fails.’
So, to summarize, both you and Noseman are wrong.
You are correct their is possessive, but the grammar is not owning or using anything in the comment you think needs correcting. The grammar is being owned by people who make typos. Therefore ‘their’ is entirely correct.
Correcting it to they’re is just really terrible English. ‘fails’ is a verb not an adjective or noun so ‘they are fails’ makes no sense if we are talking about correct English. ‘they are grammar mistakes’ would make sense but otherwise it should definitely be ‘their’.
You can use “their” in this sentence ONLY because he is speaking of one person and that person is the editor. And for that reason not only should the sentence not have been a run on sentence, it is perfectly correct with it’s usage of “their”. “They’re” wouldn’t have made any sense, I win.
oh my gosh guys, who cares lol

No, man, he just wanted to point out that this is not a typo but the guy who wrote this was serious about the s… and therefore is stupid.
Get it now?
If by “successful”, you mean “gets to play nothing but overglorified mobile sex-toys until she hits the forty-and-female wall like United Flight 93″.
This comment.
lol holy s**t.
lol wow…
Nice spelling.
Why is anyone reading the words on this poster anyway?
Because not everyone is a heterosexual horny male. That’s why. Idiot.
lawl, you’re awesome.
good win.
If you are, and still read the words, does that count as a bi-win?
LOL spelling fai- … oooh… SUCcessful…. lawl
Lol, yup just noticed that…
Sucsessful? Don’t most browsers have auto-correct these days?
What movie is this from? She actually looks more attractive in this pic than the leaked nudes….
No s**it. Ever heard of photoshop? Also, she’s 17 in the photos, I wouldn’t say I saw them if I were you. By the way, I did not (except censored one on every website, that is)
every one saw the the leaked nudes, and don’t say you didn’t.
Suckerpunch
Don’t get me wrong, she’s attractive, but she actually looks hot in this image.
Wait, what browser do you use with autocorrect?
Google Chrome has it.
As does Firefox.
My Google Chrome seems to want to correct everything, even though it’s not spelled wrong.
WIN!
Mnie duz taht tu! Itz su weerd annd anoyng!
i see what you did there!
safari
Really? You can’t spell “successful?” Couldn’t even spell check it, huh?
I’d use her as a penis-caddy.
Who is the golden glittery one in the background?
There could be potential there…
If you noticed the spelling error then I have some bad news for you.
That I’m not a heterosexual male? I already knew that, retard.
You just went full retard, didn’t you?
Went?
Damn it, Rusty, you never go full retard!
