    I guess you’re a native speaker. As a foreigner, I can only nod my head. We know.

    They’re/their/there are completely different words. They mean different things and they’re pronounced ever so slightly different, and you’ll get you hand chopped off by a centimeter ruler if you do it wrong.

    “There” is clearly longer than “their”.

    “There” is one tone. “Their” is rising.
