I just found this video over at BosGuy and thought it was hilarious. Being the son of a school teacher/librarian there are many things about the English language my mother was very strict on, some of which I’ve let slide over the years. This video is an Englishman’s ranting about the misuse of some expressions. Hilarious. While we are on the topic, when did “then” become an acceptable substitute for “than”?
I’ve seen it many times lately when people say, for example “That’s much better then this.” Huh? That’s much better slightly after this? Then means it came next. I did this then I went and did something else. Maybe it’s a result of predictive texting, but I do not like it.
