Is it 'There you are' OR 'Their you are'?

Topics

Rawky-Roo

So I am coming up to the thrilling climax of my script and there's going to be a slight confrontation. One character is looking for another character and finds them. Would that character say 'There you are' or 'Their you are'? I'm slightly confuddled. Is that sentence actually an oxymoron?

There you are Rawky

Their is a personal pronoun

and so refers to a person

but there you are denotes where a person is.

"There you are" would be the correct choice.

Rawky - I can't believe you are asking that

I feel ashamed Karma, but I started doubting myself when I initially put 'there'. I've been sat at the computer since 9am...my minds a little frazzled.

Rawky, I am shocked. You're a highly educated young man, and you ask that.

I had a momentary lapse. I had the right word, initially, but doubted myself so thought i would ask the kind people on here to correct me. I thought i wouldn't be judged or mocked...i thought wrong

I'm glad i didn't ask what the purpose of a semi-colon was now

You'll be telling us you're 'loosing' your mind soon.

Never, my mind is fine as it is...although looking through my script I've noticed a couple of times that I typed 'hear' instead of 'here'

I'm seriously concerned now.

I think it's what you call having a 'brain fart'. I remember doing my dissertation and suddenly, could not for the life of me remember how to spell used, and tried you'sed

I wouldn't be concerned at all. It's easy to make typos when you're thinking more about what you're trying to say than what you're typing. I know 100 per cent what the difference between hear and here is yet I sometimes type the wrong one and have to correct it before I post. So yeah, chill
