Hey Mr perfect
Theirs should be their's as in their is
Theirs should be their's as in their is
It's funny when the grammar police get it wrong.
"Theirs"means "belonging to them".
"There's"means "there is".

Well if you’re gonna order your two metal prints and theirs are the ones you order and they’re gonna send hanging hardware and it’s over there and some one sees it and asks what it’s for, you might say “well it’s its and that’s thats”

Completely wrong. “Theirs” is a possessive pronoun used to replace the possessive “their” followed by a noun. In this case I used “theirs” in place of saying “their spelling”. “Their’s” is never correct. As a contraction of “their is” it’s just not possible since “their” is always followed by a noun. Now you could have “theirs is” but the contraction would be “theirs’s” and it’s not really a valid contraction.
Ah, English!
Grammar (and its various rules) is why English is apparently a “second language” to many Americans.
(And I am sure there was probably something technically incorrect about that statement as well. <GRIN>)

"Theirs" means "belonging to them".
"There's" means "there is". —Moonhawk
Accurate comments. It seems sometimes do not know or understand the rules of English grammar.
I do not understand all the various technicalities either.

It depends. If you’re quoting a question it’s inside the quotation marks. If it’s question about the quote it’s outside. If it’s question about a quote that’s a question it’ll have one inside and another outside! 😜🤪

Well, I won't even try to unwind that one, but I suspect you're right.
And let's not get started on "your" and "you're".
And we somehow left out "they're", the contraction of "they are".
Or my personal pet peeve: "lose", "loose", "loser", "looser". You know who you are.
Trust me, though. I screw up too.

I stand totally correct and I apologize for my mistake. Rarely do I ever have to go that deep in my retired job or life. I do stand corrected

Lol. Not to worry. Clearly we're just a bunch of bored old farts.
