their - the possessive - it belongs to them
their ship, their shorts, their skills,
there - the place - a location
put it there, it's over there, you have to be there
there're - there are - preposition
there are loads of ships in eve
for those who do not know, not for those who don't give a toss

How is 'there are' a preposition? You are using 'there' as a pronoun with the linking verb 'are'. Also, how do you pronounce such a contraction. Are you certain you are not thinking of:
they're - they are - contraction
They are terrible pilots.

There're is not a valid English contraction.
/me waves his English Language degree around.
Finally, I found a use for it!
/me dances away.

I'm reminded of a saying:
"Those of you who think you know everything are annoying those of us who do."
I'm in agreement with maarud ("You forgot they're"), Pwett ("There're is not a valid English contraction."), and Polly Prissypantz (just because I like her name).

Believe the expression is "to belabo(u)r one's point." To labor isn't a transitive verb; you can't labor something.
Seriously, policing English in an international VIDEO GAME forum like this is for the trolls.

It's commonly used and expressed as "to labour the point". Don't troll with fake corrections it's bad enough with all the spelling facists.
