Despite vs In spite of
The English terms despite and in spite of are very similar in meaning and usage; in spite of this, English speakers sometimes find them confusing.

Their, There, They're
What's the difference between their, there, and they're? They're really not that complicated; once you understand their differences there shouldn't be any more confusion.
