Writer's Block: Peevish

[keaalu]

[Error: unknown template qotd]People who mix up "then" and "than". The fact you might pronounce it the same way doesn't mean it has even remotely the same meaning.

Case in point? Icon I saw on devART: "Better to DIE on FOUR LEGS then LIVE on TWO." Typical silly, pithy anti-human teen!were sentiment, but doesn't quiite mean what they think it does.

Oh, and stupid questions in "QotD".

To be honest, I'll agree with you - to me, "then" and "than" sound NOTHING alike. But there's a couple of American peeps on my friends list who say they do. Annnnnd... yes, I have had loong arguments about it on here with them. ¬_¬
