Idiot test. You failed.

Then refers to time. "This then that."
Than is part of a comparison "Smarter than you."

WTF is wrong with you?

The fact that you love me then you hate me?

Now stop trolling as usual and post funny pictures.

The problem comes from it sounding almost the same in some dialects and them confusing the two from before they ever learned to read/write, so it is almost exclusive to native English speakers.

The problem is then in that phrase sounds better then using than and as Ichinisan said.

Are you INSANE?! "Sounds better?" When I hear someone say that incorrectly, it "sounds" retarded, not "better." It truly does reflect poorly on their intellectual capacity. Many others will think you sound stupid when you replace than with then. Stop being stubborn and commit to changing because you are only digging your hole deeper.

Now, I suggest you re-read everything Ichinisan said because he is my twin brother and I happen to know for a fact that he does not agree with you on this. I'm getting a lot more laughs from you than the funny pics, articles, and videos, but it makes me sad for this generation. I mean, I've seen many then/than idiots, but none who actually thought "than" wasn't a modern word in DAILY use and none who thought that then was OK in place of than because it "sounds better."

Edit: Yup. You don't seem to know that prefering to be pissed off than pissed on is a comparison and not a sequence and, thus, should be than and not then. We are dealing with two completely different words meaning two completely different things for two completely different situations which should then be nearly impossible to confuse regardless of similarity.

 

[CZroe]

FTFY.

Not really. Sequence also = time. Something before something else. You just expanded it.

CZroe if you have nothing better then to do but troll in this thread acting like you have been doing like a child would be I suggest you go somewhere else as you are ruining the fun here.

If you want to make a grammar nazi thread go for it but don't bring it here.

The problem is he has been doing it here for awhile and in other posts and these personal attacks he has been doing are getting tiresome not to mention any fun in this thread.

If he wants to contribute to the thread then he needs to do that or start a troll thread if that's all he wants to do.

I would say that that is what you are doing except that I know you are serious and you aren't acting. Your only excuse is your age and, even then, you have the wrong attitude and will never learn. Also, the joke REQUIRED understanding the grammar. You FUNDAMENTALLY misunderstood, so it's not simply being a grammar Nazi.

Excuse me, but you are the one who keeps coming back and keeps making more and more ridiculous claims. If we don't tell you and set you straight now, expect much greater shame and consequence in the future. I wouldn't hire anyone who argued against proper use of then/than and I'd also be inclined to let them go if they didn't learn from their mistakes.

"my preference would be to be pissed off (mad) rather than to have someone piss on me." NOW does it make sense?

Jeezus-muthafuckin-Christ. Some of youse are morons in the first degree!

I'll rephrase:

One of those two machines is an Apple Macintosh, the other is not.

Right, so you are paying for the name since you can put OSX on the PC.

I made a list of 9 reasons It's more expensive on the previous page, swing back...

Also, Hackintosh != Macintosh, it's nowhere near as good, you lose the "it just works" thing you get with a Mac buy installing OSX on a PC and that's the whole point...

The bigger issue is wtf "than pissed on" means.

I believe what the persons original message was what he meant.

Also the word "than" is one of those words that are not being used as much like it used to in english so let it die.
