They are 2 different words.

I don't care in the forums, in texts, in chat, in bar room conversation or in emails from friends. I do care in the articles I read because it shows a casualness in the approach to editing.

Think of Basic programing with if... then... else... statements. Toss "than" in the middle and Google it. Google searches for THEN. Apply the same substitution in an Excel spreadsheet and you'll find it doesn't work. Two different words.

I'm done. :)

Thanks. If you're willing to offer your time to help me edit and write all the stories we publish every day (and maybe manage my inbox, too), you know where to find me. :)
 
Phil, I'm sure we can work something out. One of my requests will be to have everyone call me Mr Grant. Sometime during the following 6 months, I'd like to be signed to a voice-over contract for the second Up movie. :-)
