Thankyou. That's what i said. He must indeed be dyslexic.
Yorkshire people have words like this - thine, thy and tha, but not come accross thier.
My mate Daz used to sing pop songs in a yorkshire accent when he was working. I often burst out laughing at the thought of classics such as I Want Tha Back and the classic Who Does Tha Think Tha Is.

depends where abouts in Yorkshire you hail from lad.
In Barnsley we do say "over theear" pronounced ova thee-er.we would also say " i want thi back" and " whos' tha think thy ar" again depends where abouts in yorks yer frum.
15 miles south in de dar land/Sheffield they say de and dar instead of thee n thar,west yorks,wakefield is different again,as is huddersfield language,which is DOWNRIGHT FUCKIN GAY,KIRKLEES BASTARDS!

The Lancashire Hotpots do this. The funniest ones are where they do covers of dance music with a broad Lancy accent. But I can't find a clip of that so have this instead:
"Ther" seems like more correct moronic spelling. "Ther playing soccer"
"Thier"... why would you need the "are" also?
I still find it hard to believe that people still cannot tell the difference between there, their and they're. I'm sure this stuff was taught in primary school!

It's not even the correct spelling of their which is possessive. Their football. They're playing football, i.e. they are playing football. If people can't understand that, they should be summarily shot.

Aye have done those quizzes a number of times, never failed to get 100%. My mate who is adamant about "Thier" instead of "They're" only got 95% yesterday on the Facebook one

He accepts that "They're" is the common way of saying in the present tense that they are playing football and "Their" would be used to describe "In their game of football yesterday" But he's got a bee in his bonnet that "Thier" can also be used instead of "They're" sometimes. Oh look there's the Firefox spellchecker underling in red "Thier" for me again.
as far as i am concerned,thier does not exist.
We say ,there as in they are or the,but their does not exist,however...
Peeps from Glossop,may say that their is normal,mind you they are all inbred!

Nahhh they spend 7 years teaching them to use the spellwrecker on MS-Turd instead (US-English too.......US ENGLISH? Halfwit English it looks like to me).
My bro once had an assignment marked DOWN at college for correct spelling.....because all the college's computers had cretin-english as their default lingo.
While we're on the topic of spelling, I once read a short story online that had the word 'stake' instead of 'steak' typed in it.
There was a scene in the story in which the main characters were eating at a restaurant, and they were supposed to be eating steak, but even though I knew the author's intentions, the mental image of people trying to eat 'stakes' with their forks popped in my head and made me crack up.
