So now we are down to picking grammar apart? Hey why not segregate groups into those that use proper grammar and spelling and those that don't? 

Buck sorry to say it bud, but you have to revise your groupings yet once again.  

I beg an admin to please lock this one up. I think that the last few posts have proven this one has run well past the point of being productive.

Here is a good debate to get started on. Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

Who cares.  They both taste great!

The chicken...but strangely he was somehow in favor of motion swing despite it not coming first.

Meanwhile, the Egg only uses 3C on Pro and says everybody else is an abomination

Yeah but we all know the egg is all cracked up. and the chicken flew the coup long ago.

[Buck]

I'm just gibbering nonsense at this point… This thread is in dire need of the lock

[sirputterman]

What and put an end to all of this? Phifft we have just scratched(chicken reference) the surface my friend.

So, now you are trying to change what I've said. You are not the writer. So, you don't get to decide whether the writer is referencing a time, or an alternate idea. But, you should be smart enough to know how to tell the difference when it's written as such.

 

Try to keep up;

 

Then is in regards to a specific time. First I brush my teeth, and then I depart home for work.

 

Than is in regards to an alternate idea. If I haven't brushed my teeth, than why did I depart home for work?

 

If the statement is not in regards to time, than the correct usage is than.

 

 

Not there yet? Here is another example.

 

Back then, we used to have wired headphones.

 

If we still prefer wired headphones, than why would we purchase wireless ones?

 

I see how it can be confusing. But you can actually have both words in one sentence to drive home the difference.

 

If we still prefer wired headphones, than why would we go to the store and then purchase wireless ones?

 

Than, describes the alternate idea. Then references the point in time that this occurs.

 

Four examples of the word than and they are all incorrect usages.  It would seem your understanding of the meaning of the word than and how it is used is on a par with your understanding of the physics underlying golf.  Obviously, you would rather argue than look in a dictionary.  Par for the course for you it would seem.  Pity.

and Joe gets  the gold star for grammar. http://replygif.net/1383 Now can we lock this up please? I just can't see this going any further in a productive manner.

The fact that you would refuse to admit your epic fail at grammar police;  and, over four hours later, only be able to demonstrate a single usage of the word... is just classic ignorance.

 

It took you over four hours of study just to figure out how to use the word in a single sentence; but you still haven't acknowledged that you obviously needed four hours of study just to figure out the difference between then and than.

 

Bottom line: Your grammar is less than satisfactory.

[Buck]

Any moderators around?

This thread could use a lock

It took you that long to figure out how to use the word in a sentence, but you still haven't acknowledged that you obviously needed four hours of study to figure out that you are a dolt.

 

But he proved you wrong. You have no idea why he took 4 hours to respond. Again you just decided to ass/u/me. Why Mike allowed you back is way beyond me. Sorry, since you are off topic, I deserve the same privilege.

Uh, no. He proved that he could learn how to use the word after four hours of study.

 

Where did you assume that he proved anything I've stated to be incorrect, and by what measure?

[Richard]

Why are you such an 'ass'??? You have no idea what Joe was doing during the 4 hrs that he took to respond. Just refer to my other post regarding your comments. http://www.perfectpa...swings/?p=84835

 

I have no idea why you were reinstated after being suspended from PP.  The explanation was that you were only interested in advancing the progress of the game. Unfortunately, all I see is you effort to 'piss off' all the community who are in fact interested in advancing the progress of the game.

[Buck]

Guys. This needs to stop please.

This is not what we are here for (endless arguing that devolves into personal shots)

Can we please refocus?

[Richard]

What do your personal problems have to do with the current discussion at hand?

 

You're really willing to knowingly tie your hitch to a sinking boat in a grammar discussion, all because you are butt-hurt that you are not the forum moderator?

 

We can go at this point all night... so we can see just how ignorant you are willing to prove yourself to be.

 

But, you're not going to bluff me out of a straight flush... when I've already seen that you're holding nothing but rags.

 

Wanta bet? O my where did your original post go??

[Golden Bear]

I deleted the post Buck.  It was simply not worth the effort.  The person it was intended for is making his own bed for all to see anyway.
