<< heheh...my sis-in-law is an english major...:)

GrammAr is the correct spelling, and neither is correct. Not just for having &quot;but&quot; at the beginning, but there is really no such word as &quot;nicer&quot;, again, according to her. She suggests using &quot;better&quot; in place of &quot;nicer&quot;.

:) smarty-pant know-it-all...

nice
adj. nicer, nicest

source - Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, © 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc.

And nowadays starting a sentence with but is somewhat acceptable. &quot;Everything looks nicer than it really is&quot; would be better, depending on the context.

For some reason is at the end is bugging me :confused:

Than and grammar are correct.
