MerryB, maybe you're just jealous because I understand and can use correct English grammar.
First things first:
"It's" is a contraction of "it is," while "its" is a possessive adjective (as in the dog scratched its butt). "That's" is a contraction of "that is;" "thats" is not a grammatically correct word.
Secondly:
"They" is a plural pronoun, which therefore by definition cannot refer to a singular subject [see your words: "Thats what they get for trying to be a tough guy."]
Maybe spending a little less time chatting it up and a little more time paying attention in english class would prevent people from making fun of your "creativity" in sentence construction.
