It's "who's" and "whose" I still to this day struggle with. A sort of who's whose of difficult words if you will.
But at least I can spell 'lose' whereas 90% of the internet seem to write 'loose'.

The apostrophe means its a contraction of 'who is'. The other is of course the sort of possessive thingy, so 'the man whose hair is brown'
Not to be confused with other possessive form: 'John's hair is brown'
English is a mess, that's for sure, I don't blame anyone for getting it wrong.

Because they sound alike the words there and their are often misspelled. A good way to remember the difference is: The place "here" with a T is "there". While "there" refers to a place, "their" means belonging to them. For example, Their van was destroyed in the accident. While they're is short for they are.

Surely not; it should be: their, they're there.
