That's one of my favorite homonym pairs to mess up if I'm not concentrating on it. Unfortunately, "their" and "there" end up being a problem for me even more often. The difference between the two words is clear, but the reason I switch them so often is not at all clear. Am I lysdexic?
I drove past a parking lot today, and a couple of workers were painting white lines. They had a sharp black truck and trailer, with large white letters on the trailer, "PARKING LOT STRIPPING."

Living in the Missouri Ozarks, I see it all day, every day. The one's I like the best are when they are COPYING something off a container, etc., onto a sign and they still misspell it! LOL
A real big one in the Branson area is misspelling Shepherd of the Hills. The most common misspelling is "Shepard of the Hills". doh
About two or three weeks ago on the marquee sign of the RFD Theater said "Marty Strurat" Instead of Marty Stuart. I mean how hard is it to get your headline entertainer's name right?

I vote for "sheep heard" of the hills, or possibly "sheep herd". . . . .depending upon meaning, of course!
When necessary, I wash my pullets with warm water and "dawn" in the kitchen sink, towel dry them and place them in a warm enviornment until completely dry. Bleach sink and surrounding area's thoroughly afterwards!
