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!

@Justme264 The differences between "there", "their" and "they're" are glaringly obvious to anyone over the age of 10. I could tell them apart when I was about 6, if not even younger than that.
