The Dreaded Apostrophe! Their, There, They're, They are

"There’re right in front of me now..."

You did not mean to say this.  You cannot use that apostrophe in that way.  What you meant to say was "There they are, right in front of me now..."  OR, you could meant:

They're there..... Where "they're" is contraction for THEY ARE.   You know what?  If I were you, to break myself from confusion with that apostrophe thing,  I would write out EVERYTHING. Don't use the shortcut contraction thingee.  Somewhere, in the first grade, your teacher was not paying attention and she did not 'catch' you misunderstanding the concept and so you 'learned' it  incorrectly for the rest of your life!

I have often wondered what goes through the mind of a deer hunter.
