Who is impacted?

Millions of people around the world are impacted by the constant criticism and correction of the misuse of "there", "their", and "they're" in online social media posts and forums. Whether it's a typo or a genuine mistake, the correction can be hurtful and make people feel belittled, embarrassed, or defensive. This unnecessary criticism not only affects the person being corrected but also creates a negative atmosphere for others who witness it, leading to a toxic online environment.

What is at stake?

If we continue to allow this petty criticism to dominate online conversations, we risk further polarizing and dividing people. The internet is already a breeding ground for conflict and division; do we really need to add grammatical nitpicking to the mix? By consolidating "there", "their", and "they're" into a single word, "ther", we can eliminate this unnecessary source of tension and create a more inclusive and respectful online community. If we don't take action, we'll continue to perpetuate a culture of criticism and correction, rather than one of kindness and understanding.

Why is now the time to act?

The time to act is now. With the rise of social media, online communication has become an integral part of our daily lives. It's time to take a stand against unnecessary criticism and create a more positive online environment. By signing this petition, we can urge technology companies to implement a mandatory auto-correct feature that replaces "there", "their", and "they're" with "ther", making it easier for people to communicate without fear of criticism. Let's come together to create a kinder, more considerate online community, where people can express themselves without fear of being corrected or belittled. Sign this petition to support the consolidation of "there", "their", and "they're" into "ther" and help create a more positive online world.
