Indeed. I literally never use the word "than". Fuck grammar, "than" looks weird.

I never say "than", I say "then", therefore it just seems right to spell it how I always say it.

Edit: I wonder what the most downvoted comment is on Lemmy World, am I making history?

Edit: I'm concerned for everyone who upvoted this

I mean, I suppose I respect the commitment to just being unequivocally wrong.

And ignorant...

I'm not really ignorant if I know I am using bad grammar. I know it's wrong I just do it anyways. That makes me stupid, not ignorant

[–] StrongHorseWeakNeigh@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Obstinate sure but not ignorant.

If it was an actual formal writing I would use proper grammar but other then (oh man what do I do here) that I never really use than.

Hilarious when people want to resort to β€œI WASN’T WRITING FORMALLY” in these situations. Just take the L and acknowledge it was a flub. Much less cringe that way.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Oh I absolutely did take the L

Lol it's not grammar, you've used an entirely different word that just sounds kinda similar. You're essentially saying the actual words used don't matter in these two sentences because they sound similar:

I like to wear t-shirts

Eye lick two where tea-shits
