Common Mispronunciations of Their
Not TER
This th hums with the voice on, the way the and they do, and swapping in a plain t loses the word entirely.
Not THEER
The vowel is the e of bed with an r behind it, so the word rhymes with where and not with here.
Tip: Their, there and they're sound exactly alike, which is why the three get mixed up so often in writing.
