Also, at 28 you should know which of the three theres should be used.
While I am not an English professor, assuming you are referring to this post, I do believe that's the correct form of there:

Quote:
sound like you are nearing you're late 70's there grandpa
Since the 'there' in that sentence is referring to a location instead of a possessive. You are a grandpa in your location, as opposed to being someone's Grandpa.

Examples:

'All of your posts are great in there Grandpa!''

'All of their Grandpa's posts are A+.'

But that is the incorrect form of "You're"; this is a contraction of "you are".

"Your" would be the correct word to use as it refers to a possessive.

Examples:

"You're all great at forum-quest!"

"It's all unicorns and rainbows when I read your posts."
