In Reply to: "they're" instead of "their" and yes, you're usually spot on ^ posted by Road Warrior on January 10, 2015 at 13:26:28:
"They're" is a contraction for "they are". You wouldn't say "...change 'they are' content", would you? In my context "their" is a possessive pronoun which is correct. Thus endeth the lesson.
