Where is "there"?

I often see the word "there" inserted randomly into various sentences without it appearing to be referring to anywhere in particular. The latest example I have just seen is "Each to there own". That doesn't make sense, does it?

It's a typo.. "their" i think they meant to say eh?

@YoMomma If they meant "their", why didn't they use that word? Why use a completely unrelated word that just happens to sound phonetically the same? I don't understand that. I don't remember people doing it in school.

@Bewilderbeeste guess they just didn't check their spelling

@YoMomma There is only one spelling for "their" and there is only one spelling for "there". They are two completely different words, they are unrelated and they are in no way interchangeable. Thinking of one of those words should not make one think of the other.
