Believe it or not, THERE is a differenct. It's not hard.

I think everybody knows what THERE means, despite its many meanings. THEIR is the possessive form of THEY. Meaning something that belongs to THEY. THEIR house.
THEY'RE. This is a contraction of the two words THEY and ARE. THEY ARE stupid idiots becomes THEY'RE stupid idiots.
Moving on.
Then/than. THEN is an adverb, with several meanings. THAN is not a synonym for it. THEN is an adverb meaning
at that time, next in time, space or order. In addition, moreover besides. Therefore, and in some cases it is a noun.
THAN.
THAN is most often used after a comparative word!
I am better THAN you.
Use THAN when you are making comparisons!

Thank you for listening. I hope we can all at least look forward to more grammatically correct posts than we've had before. Then everybody can be happy!! I know people can learn! They're not stupid, its just that their intelligence is not the prize pig, if you know what I mean. There.

I have the there/their/they're thing licked, it's always the than/then thing that kicks my ass...:dork:
 
Why is the question mark on a keyboard an upper case function and the slash just a poke? I don't know about you all, but I use the "?" way more then the "/".
Their, that is my compalint for the day.

As I understand it...

Their there and then is sometimes different than their there and then and they're less happy about that than they are.

As I understand it.

But then, what of that rather than this?

:jameo:

That one turned out proper--so I have to wonder, did you simply not catch it, or did you think it was then and change it to than?

Anyway I know people are less educated that's why I'm trying to teach them a simple lesson. Sure, they will make fun but I think secretly they will take note.

I hardly ever use the "?" I guess it's because I have nearly all of the answers.

That's = that is.

Ok, fair enough. But we all know that a spelling mistake is a bit different than improper word usage/grammar. See I don't much mind about spelling errors, unless they are blatant, but when it's something as simple as dropping the apostrophe, you and I both know it goes there, sometimes they get dropped, oh well. But when you use a totally wrong word, well that's entirely different.

The one I still don't get is using " ' " for possessive versus plural. Especially in cases like " it's and that's" vs " its and thats''.
Example: Its a lot of trouble to get it's lid off.
Or is it. It's a lot of trouble to get its lid off.?

It is a lot of trouble... It's.

Yeah I don't get either why the possessive of it doesn't have the apostrophe. Just accept it for what it is I guess.

Run on sentences bother me, especially when they are posted by grammar nazis.
