Their, There, Its alright.

There. Their. Its. It's. Alright and All right. Most of us know when to use what word when, like Know vs. No. But typing hurriedly, or in casual places such as forums or texting, leads to common word swappage that bypasses the best of spell checker program and quick manual gloss-overs. The best bet is for us all to get English degrees and not make mistakes in the first place. Wait a minute while I consider if I meant that as a joke.

Kidding aside, a needless grammar mistake can kill your publishing attempt dead. A simple grammar mistake to a professional editor is glaring, and is going to get you thrown into the reject pile. Don't make the mistake in assuming that your story is so great and novel, that any mistakes will be corrected thanklessly for you in the publishing process.

Also, casual word swapping on the 'net needs to just die. Could we just stop using 'Teh' in place of 'The'? That would be great, thanks!
