They all mean the same thing only if you are in the Gulf of America. Otherwise standard grammar still applies.

Maybe controversial, but I strongly believe we should eliminate the apostrophe from all contractions. It just adds an unnecessary imput to writing.
Their/there/theyre
Dont/didnt/couldnt
Etc.

We’ll have to add in that the abbreviation “‘ve” is now also okay to be spelled as “of,” as in “should’ve” or “should of.” Equal!

Another post wrote ‘should of’ in the comment and that is glorious if intentional.
If not intentional, I hate you.

I know this is satire, but language is something that evolves over time. While there, their, and they’re are likely not quite ready to be phased out, there likely will be a day where this is the case. The rules for English, or any language for that matter, are not prescribing the way words SHOULD be used, but describing how they ARE used. If enough people use the three words interchangeably then our definitions should change with their use. That is the way defining language has worked for centuries.
It is exactly the same reason that literally now also means figuratively in casual settings. Saying to a friend “If I eat taco bell, I will literally shit my brains out” is using ‘literally’ the correct way in the modern day. It is used for emphasis and exaggeration.
If people decide their is no need for they’re to be different versions of the word there, then we should change the definition to fit the way there being used.
The above sentence is perfectly understandable, despite the ‘incorrect’ versions of the words. Breaking the habit would be difficult for some, but it is a change I can certainly see the linguistic community making in the not-too-distant future.
While we’re at it, to and too are arbitrary as well.

At first glance I thought this was serious. Which says everything about the current state of affairs.

I low key agree with this. If lead (Pb) and lead (as in leader) can be two completely different things with the same spelling then so can there and there. Enough with this bullshit.
