I was more offended by the run-on sentences and the grammar then the rant.
it’s “than” not “then”. just sayin, we all make mistakes, we all have flaws, we all get upset. idk about you all but i was a wreck my first month and i was mad at everything. so i get that this dude might be a bit irritated. i hope the best for you OP the forum will be here if you ever decide to return.

Hey now @Charlesfreck & @Jim27. I’ve noticed on here and especially with my buddy who is from Scotland that some folks from the UK actually spell words based off their pronunciation with their accent. Sometimes I can barely understand what this guy is saying, but if I read it outloud I sort of sound Scottish…

I’m Swedish, two words in English that always makes me think extra is then and than.
Then is time related
Than is comparison
The Other words are To and too.
But I do think we have a lot more grammar training in school than native English countries. Almost all our English classes is about grammar and glossary here.

The word every American misspells, no idea why, is loser. Half of Americans spell it looser.

I can’t get swear and sware right for my life. My brother swears/swares that one of them isn’t even a word.

Glad I never used that in a sentence when I imagined it to sound like “hyper bole”
