Some people think that "thier" is spelled t-h-e-i-r, and others think it is t-h-i-e-r. The saying may be "i before e, except after c", but it feels right writing it their. How is it really spelled?!

Their is correct. The i before e rule usually works for words with an "eee" sound (believe, grieve, achieve, ceiling, bier) but when there is an "air" sound it is usually ei (their, heir). OK?

It's spelled "their". The rule is " i before e except after c" but this is one of the many exceptions. weird is also another exception. after u learn it, it'll just stick in ur mind. hope i helped. :)
