Grammar 101...
Purpura Lipstick:
Alright Julie, or anyone else who can explain this well. Than/Then, I think I am worse at these two than I am with Effect/Affect. Help! :)
julilly:
Than is a comparison, Then indicates time.
There are more mushrooms than peppers in this sauce.
Wash your clothes then put them in the dryer.
The WRONG way to use them:
I'm a better speller then you! (than would be the correct word)
Every now and than I go to McDonald's. (then would be right.)
Purpura Lipstick:
I thought that's how it was but my grammar check on my computer was telling me when I used "then" in my sentence it was wrong, but I used it in the way it was supposed to according to your sentence below. Maybe I have it right in my head and the grammar check has issues, or maybe there was something else wrong ... hrm.
A-RokzStalker:
What was the sentence, Lore?
Purpura Lipstick:
I can't remember, it was for a work e-mail I don't memorize those. Once I am home I try to forget all things work. :)
