Sunny, you should never start a word with an exclamation mark.

Read "The Elements of Style" by Strunk and White.

Short, basic, to-the-point book about writing. Still excellent after all these years.

I fixed your link Impy!

To tell the truth, the confusion between than and then is the only common error which jumps out at me and unsettles me. The differences between the two words seem so great. That saying, we all have our idiosyncancies; ( ) it's what makes our voices distinctive. That goes for our errors as well as our style of speaking. I know I make errors when I look back on what I wrote in the past and wince. And that's just the ones I know about. There must be more I am unaware of. Pffft *shrugs*

I judge people by their sentiments rather than their language errors.

Parse this, Liddy!

Tosh, I am the same way, too. I see errors because I have an editor's mind, but I don't really care (unless it's my writing!). The only time I point them out is if they're funny!

Like spelling idiosyncrancies right!
