I'm impressed that you managed to misspell "their" every time there. The only correct spelling was in the quoted text.

+1 for consistency.

Like, I want to up vote the fact checking, but I want to down vote the careless grammar. I'm so torn.

Make a second account and do both.

Make a new account and do two (three) pieces of work instead of no work for the same net result. 🤔🎱🙂‍↔️

Exactly! Maximum effort for no result.

It's like a management position

Well you got me there. And I bet it pays considerably more too.

So I went and stalked them. They largely ignore that ‘their’ exists, which is amazing, since their texts are otherwise near-perfect English.

A few examples of their using ‘their’: 1

[F]or the police to chase their had to be a reasonable suspicion […]

2

Their approval among there base of shias has only gone up since the conflict started

3

[…] let people know about their bias […]
