I agree with you Regulith 100%. It makes me cringe that people always get that contraction wrong. |
| Kalphiter:
That's because I pointed out "your gay/your under arrest" in the "Fill this in" thread. |

A makes it the other thing. --- End quote --- Good try, but I think a better explanation would be "Then is used to show a passage of time. I.e. 'I ate a taco, then danced with a monkey.'" "Than is used to compare two things. I.e. 'Dancing with the monkey was more fulfilling than eating the taco'". |
