Contractions vs Homophones

I've been dealing with this form of error since I worked at our university paper ages ago. When I started working as a professional copy editor and proofreader, it still surprises me that even authors with PhDs don't really know when to use what.

Anyway, here are the most-common ones:


  • Your vs You're
  • Their vs They're vs There
  • Where vs Were vs We're
