Deciding between then and than is harder than any other grammatical decision.

crimedog is right. It's a made up word used to trick students

Huh? They're 2 completely different words. The very question makes absolutely no sense.

Seriously. It's like choosing between jam and gem. Sure they sound similar, but they're completely different.

What is your position on randomly capitalizing the word "type?"

IT'S JUST EASIER TO CAPITALIZE EVERYTHING.

The English language is stupid anyway.
