    “Hello Jimmy. Before you sits a home-made cake. To your left, there are party-goers, waiting for their cake. To your right, there is a trash can. You can feed the guests the cake, but there is a chance they will get the toenail. If you throw the cake away, you will never be invited to the family gathering ever again. Choose carefully.”

      Bro forget the cake, you’re not getting invited to a family gathering again because you don’t know the difference between there, their, and they’re.

      Edit: he fixed them! Kudos to the other commenter for explaining it! He is better than me

        Four chances to get it right and all were wrong. I wouldn’t be so quick to point it out but that was impressive

          Honestly that’s the only reason I said anything. If would have just been one or two I would have left it alone… But four and otherwise perfect English? Had to be done.

      Please take a moment:

      They’re - they are (the ’ replaces the space and the a)

      Their - belongs to them

      There - not here

      On the one hand, I’d get to feed people toenails. On the other hand, I don’t want to go to family gatherings.
