There. Their. They're.

There is a toy soldier.
Their toy soldier is dusty.
They're obsessed with collecting toy soldiers.

Your toy soldier.
You're saving up for a toy soldier.

It is simple. It is the bane of my existence that people cannot remember a few simple grammatical nuances. There have been instances in my life where people have been telling me their (notice the usage) deepest and darkest secrets across the inter-web, yet all I could focus on was their (once again) incorrect use of your/you're. When it has an apostrophe, break it up and then try it. Please. For the sake of this petty, annoyed blogger.
