Their vs. there vs. they're

English is not my first language but I did my best to become as fluent as possible. And I find it strange and mildly annoying when so many native speakers are so careless with their spelling.
Their = belonging to them
There = answers the question "where?"
They're = they are.

And no, I'm not a grammar Nazi, but this is very basic!

You would be a good teacher. We taught by rote and were pulled up about grammar and spelling. Tidiness mattered as well.
@RuthW69 Like the multiplication table, these rudiments need to be learned>Otherwise it is like being ina boat without paddles.
