"they're" instead of "their" and yes, you're usually spot on ^

"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.
And yet despite the look on my face, you're still talking.

  Or does it? You're half-way there, it would appear.
  
  "Juvenile network sitcoms or unimaginative dramas won't change their content regardless of they way their presented."
  
  Seems to me the sentence should read: Juvenile network sitcoms or unimaginative dramas won't change their content regardless of they way they're presented.

      I make mistakes two!
      
      To, too, and two is my Asylum pet peeve, along with sentences which ask a question, yet end with a period. Its vs. it's is one I sometimes get wrong, usually when I'm tired, or in a hurry.

        Good example here. At 20 seconds it sure sounds like Tori is saying "silicone chip" as opposed to silicon. Integrated circuits are built upon silicon substrates. And one cannot walk barefoot on the beach with the silicone between their toes.
