+1 Monkeys. Gotta love the long winded rants. I just wish I could do that to some of my co-workers and be able to apologize with a smiley afterwards.

Just so you know it's holiday not holidy. Not that I'm one that should be correcting.

Uh....."they're coming by to pick up the motorcycle" is correct

It's a proper use of the contraction (they are = they're). Your second example (which I didn't include) was right though

You might want to reread his quote. After he breaks up the contraction and rereads the sentence, he concludes "Yes, that's correct."

He then follows that with another usage of "they're" that is revealed to be obviously incorrect when the contraction is broken up.
