GRAMMAR NAZI!!!
The difference between "There", "Their" and "They're". The term "There" indicates a location, as in "Over there". "Their" is a possessive term meaning "The item in question is the property of more than one person", for example "It is their dog". Finally, "They're" is a contraction of the words "They are", as indicated by the apostrophe where the 'a' used to be. It means exactly the same thing as it's longer version.
The difference between "Than" and "Then". "Than" is used to indicate a comparison between two things. For example, "I like chocolate more THAN vanilla". The term "Then" is used to indicate a link between one part of a sequence and the next, as in "Ben cut open the bottle of topping, THEN ate the topping".
The difference between "To", "Too" and "Two". Seriously, how can people not know this one? It's even easier than the Than/Then thing. "Two" is a number, as in "Two shoes". "Too" is exactly synonymous with "As well". These are the only times you use these two homonyms! The rest of the time, you use "To", which by the way preceeds a verb. "To run," "to walk," "to be, or not to be".
Sorry just had to get that off my chest.

Dammit Joe, now I want chocolate topping, and their is no way I'm going too the shops at this hour. Perhaps if they're was a license in my wallet than I'd go, but I'm two lazy to get one. Oh well, at least I'm better then those people who don't even have there Ls. All to of them.
Ben, your a pain in the arse. If only you were more like Joe, been correct with grammar. Yous should be ashamed of you'reself...tsk tsk. Has a private education taught you naught?
I too saw the man run to the shop with two dollars. Thats a pretty good example.
Heh...this may be embarassing to admit, but would you believe I read all through Ben's comment not noticing the errors until the last sentence "All to of them".
Nice work there, Ben.
