Then vs Than
This forum is awful at getting the two right. It definitely bothers me more than it should. Anyone else?
Anyways, here are two examples to differentiate the two which have drastically different outcomes:
[i]I would rather sleep with Mara Sov [b]THAN[/b] Variks.[/i]
As opposed to:
[i]I would rather sleep with Mara Sov [b]THEN[/b] Variks[/i]
English

3 RepliesWhat bugs me more is- I could care less Vs I [b]couldnt[/b] care less. The former implying that you can indeed care less whereas the latter states you damn well don't. Grr

6 RepliesEdited by WortWortWarthog: 9/2/2015 11:01:29 PMCommon mistakes: - Than, Then - Your, You're - There, Their, They're - Of, If - Effect, Affect - Of, Have (specifically after "-ould") - Basically anything involving "-ould" verbs in general I'll add more if I see any.
