Pet Peeve

Ok, I know I don't always use perfect grammar. There are some things, though, that really make me cringe. I see even well-educated people do at least one.

Then vs. Than

"Then" refers to time. "Than" is used for comparison.

Eh, perhaps it's just a spellcheck thing. But it's one of those little things...

This has become so pervasive that I have now even seen it in normally well-edited published materials.

*sigh*

(no subject)

I need to release all this pent up emotion.
I need to cry, I really do.
But I need to do it in a time and place that won't cause problems later.

I really need to allow myself to do this. I can feel it roiling inside. I just hope that once I let it out it will stop.
