Because I'm a pain in the.....

[MercDude]

if you really want to split hairs... try this: then vs. than
Then is a word to describe time... this happened THEN this
than is a word to describe feelings towards objects... i like my ford better THAN your chevy.
When you are in college (and have passed english classes ) you can just split hairs all damn day long!! So why don't we stop complaining so much and just relax and have some fun laughing at the Chevy stomping stories and fellow girl/boy-friend heart breaks. I say boy/girl friend because if you only use girlfriend we are sexist... and if we say he/she all the time without reversing the roles once and awhile like she/he, we are still considered sexist since we are still putting men first. just being a smart a$$ ... see how this is a snowball? Yes the butterfly-chaos factor is in effect (or is that affect? )
