@RavenRT- yes, that's the joke buddy... i think it's been said there is a need for a sarcasm font.
yes, their is the correct pronoun. thank you grammar nazi. seriously, do people search the internet to get their jollies correcting other people's grammar? and this above post is a note written informally to his wife... when i write to a friend i just don't think grammar is that necessary. i can say shisa like "i aint havin it!" and if they correct me, they are not suitable friends. but because he made his note available to internet users, i guess he's given grammar nazis something to do with their day...

yours - That which belongs to you; the possessive second person pronoun used without a following noun; Written at the end of a letter, before the signature

Does that make me old?
And the word "you're" is still very much in use as a second person possessive.

examples:
I'll be there in a minute.
Let's go to their house.
They're both morons.
Learn something new everyday.
