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!

I agree!!! It’s appalling how many native English speakers are so poor at grammar.
The misuse of the apostrophe drives me nuts - it’s really not difficult and I don’t get why people find it so hard to use it properly.
I’ve even seen public advertisements with the apostrophe used wrongly. Makes me want to use red spray paint to correct it! 😂
