For the love of God.
I swear I stop in my tracks reading when the person posting doesn’t know the difference between “than” and “then”. We are all raising children, so why don’t we learn and teach them as well:
Than is used when you're talking about comparisons; Then is used when you're talking about something relating to time.
Than: “I’d rather have salad than vegetables.”
(Translated: you only want one and not both.)
Then: “I rather have salad then vegetables.”
(Translated: you want both, but you want one before the other.)
* Sorry for my rant. I guess we all have your pet peeves, right!? *

@scidg3, lol, honestly no! I didn’t see yours. It was a post that was deleted shortly after that was about daycare. Used the word “than” like seven times instead of “then.”

You tagged me twice.... Thank you for the English lesson tho 😉 Sometimes when I get off social media I feel like I need to go read an adult book 😆 even if it's a dirty one!!

@scidg3, I posted two separate times to you, that’s why I tagged twice, lol. I figure I’d share a small English lesson since so many missed it during grade school. 🤗🙃
