Also, if anyone needs help in a writing methodology, designed to upset people, I believe you will find this a valuable resource.

Diemonk, are you an English teacher? No razzin or joke intended.
I am a mechanic and not very a good speller. I hope not to get on your nerves too bad with my posts.

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

It was an example just in case you weren't sure.

Also, I forgot I was also going to mention the edit button, but then I was leaving, and now I'm not. (The Holidy was supposed to be an example )

So yeah, my mom never took me off her insurance policy like she said she would, so I can't legally drive home until midnight tonight. So I'm stuck here for another day! Not that it's a bad thing.

No, I'm not a teacher or anything, I just celebrated my 20th birthday yesterday, so I'm still a little young, plus I'm still in college. I just grew up with the internet before the AOLlers showed up and butchered the english language with their nasty chatroom habits.

I'm just joking a little about it, plus a good english lesson has never killed anyone. I mispell all the time, but I go back and edit things if I've made a huge mistake and fail to catch it. What I really dislike is 1337speak *cough Verm cough*.

This is always good for explaining the proper use of an apostrophe:
