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.

May your pointers always be null
May your ints always overflow
May your floats always be imprescise
May your strings never be terminated
May your queries never be valid
May your regexes never find matches
May your markup never be parseable
May your files always be inaccessible
May your code have a thousand warnings
I'm sure you folks can come up with much better ones.
Try reversing them if you are in a good mood today.
(May your strings always be terminated, etc)
