How exactly are you expecting Alexa to know which there/their/they're you mean?  And why in the world would you even need to ask her such a thing?

sounds more like your original question is trolling since it is quite obvious you can spell those words.   Amazon echo is good but it is not a grammar check.

It's going to struggle with homophones because it's sound-based. I just tried to get a spelling using contextual embedding - 'going to', 'one two three' - but it's too (ha!) complex. What was the question you were hoping to answer with a skill like that?

Nice thinking, unfortunately I don't see a way it can do that. Maybe one day :)
