I've noticed that our FanBoy, when comparing things, use "then"...
Wasn't it "than"

Many English speakers need to be more careful in this. Than/then, to/too/two, they're/their/there.. all these concepts seem to be difficult for some people.Comment

Sorry for my misuse of the English Langauge. I'm I horrible speller at times also and I find often that the brain is often way ahead of the fingers when it comes to typing out a reply and I often miss a word here and there that ties the sentance together

Yeah, that is weird. That also happens to me. I'm typing out the words (as I say them in my head) and looking at the screen....but after I'm done and re-read the statements, sometimes I find out I skipped typing a word or two here and there. Or I end up typing this instead of that, on instead of in, if instead of of...stuff like that.Originally posted by GT98

Hey, hey!
That was not a judgment on anybody...
I have asked it because in Italian it's nearly impossible doing something like that, so I have thougth (I hate this word...where the hell the h goes??) that it was a normal slang that I didn't know. ^__^

It's thought.
'ght' is a common ending for English, like in "night," "light," and "fought."
It's not slang, it's just poor English that is far too common.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.Comment

English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.Comment
