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!

The boat over there is their boat, and they’re going to take me fishing next week.

Put the book over there next to their shelves because they’re going to put the books in order.

There is no way I could know it was their paint or that they’re really not into sharing.

It was always their plan to go to the beach over there because they’re big fans of that spot.


There is always another opportunity to get on their good side, they’re very flexible.
