PROPER USE OF THE WORD THEN/THAN[views:4758][posts:29]___________________________________ [Oct 12,2004 1:49pm - EvilBitch ""] Why is it that everyone always screws this up? For some odd reason, it drives me absolutely crazy when I read things like... "I'm better then you" "Immortal is so much cooler then Angel Corpse" "...more then I should be doing" as I just read which prompted me to post...... THAN people...it's than, not then.... WTF is wrong here? Didn't anyone go to English class, at least once? |

| _____________________________________ [Oct 12,2004 2:25pm - Christraper ""] Immortal is NOT cooler than Angel Corpse! Angel Corspe at least quit before they started to suck. |

| _______________________________________ [Oct 12,2004 2:37pm - armageddonday ""] I was pretty good when I was in college (English major) before moving in the US. Now I suck, but I don't think I make the then/than mistake, at least when I type, when I talk I probably do because of my accent. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 12,2004 2:38pm - Christraper ""] Anne you speak english better than me or anyone else in my band |

It really shows that I got bad habits since I moved in the US aka YOU DUMB FUCKERS NEED TO LEARN HOW TO WRITE AND READ ENGLISH PROPERLY. |

Now I suck, but I don't think I make the then/than mistake, at least when I type, when I talk I probably do because of my accent. may i ask where you're from? it's prolly been said, but i'm slow! hahaha my only problem is that sometimes when i'm talking, i put the accents on words like i'm speaking spanish. like i was saying "autopsy" when i was talking to someone and it took them a while to figure out what the hell i was saying. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 12,2004 2:49pm - armageddonday ""] I'm from France, I start learning German when I was 12, English at 14, English major in college, passed the first year with grades, pass Spanish, linguistic but didn't pass French grammar. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 12,2004 2:51pm - MyDeadDoll ""] damn all you multilingual people! i wanted to take german, but i never did and i don't know why. maybe one day i'll go back to school and do everything i wanted to do but never did. |
