Today, my daughter asked me the difference between "their" and "they're". This is the same child I've been spending thousands of dollars on to send to law school. FML

Unfortunately, this isn't all too surprising. I'm in grad university and have seen other papers with similar grade school grammatical errors. It's depressing all the same, though.

You missed the opportunity for a perfectly good joke... you could've said "Their they're, you're daughter will be alright." >_>

Some people just lack common sense and are just plain too stupid to begin with, no matter how much money you spend on their education. Wouldn't want her as a lawyer. She might get confused between innocent and guilty

Um, the difference between "their" and "they're" is not the same as that between innocent and guilty? Assuming you know what I speak of.

Does she know the difference in bars, as in passing it, hanging out in one, or being behind them.

Just thousands? Not hundreds of thousands, or even tens of thousands? I'm guessing she got one heck of a scholarship.
