How about these as well???
They\'re - translates to they are, as in they\'re terrible. Their - as in something they possess - like their coaching staff blows. There - describing a place, as in over there is where he made the cutback that sprung him for 80 against the Saints\' D. Likewise you\'re and your follow the same rules as above. Bye - is a week in which there are no games, whereas by can have a variety of meanings like until, originated from, in that general area, etc. Where - sort of like there - a place. The Dome is where the saints play. Were - past tense of are. The Saints were terrible last year and are just as bad this year. It\'s = it is. It\'s a damn shame we suck again. Its - something possessed by it. Shall I continue? |
