Not to be an ***, but I figure that I would try to get some basic stuff out here. I am NOT an english major, but I like to think that I know the basics. I have noticed significant misuses of these words, so if you don't think you understand this stuff, take a glance! I am making these explanations simple, contrary to many grammar books.
Your- Indicates something that belongs to you. eg. Your car is ugly.
You're- Indicates that you are something. The apostrophe takes the place of the "a". eg. You're fat.
Their- Indicates a possession belonging to someone else, or a group of people. eg. Their cars are ugly.
They're- Indicates the state of being of someone else. eg. They're a bunch of ricers.
There- Indicates a location. eg. McDonalds is over there, fatty.
To- Indicates direction. eg. I am going to McDonalds, because I am fat.
Two- Is a number. eg. I have two cars.
Too- Functions in the same manner of "as well". eg. He is going to McDonalds, because he is fat too.
Won- A possible outcome of any form of competition. eg. I won the burger eating contest.
One- A number. aka "1". eg. Your mother has one leg.
Whose- Indicates the possession of an unknown subject. eg. Whose car is that?
Who's- Indicates the state of being of an unspecified subject. The apostrophe takes the place of the "i" in "who is..." eg. Who's going to McDonalds?
"should of." that is completely incorrect. It is a contraction of "should have", ie should've.
This is the same situation ascould've, would've, etc.

"To be" is a wonderful verb. It can be very useful. Unfortunately, many people say "the car needs painted."
HOW DO YOU **** THAT UP?
The car needs TO BE painted.
(C/O notsonic)
Than - To indicate the second member or the member taken as the point of departure in a comparison expressive of inequality.
Then - At that time
