I'll do this puzzle five times faster than you, then I'll go walk the dog.

 

Then/than is one of the easiest parts of grammar for me. Really, the only thing I struggle with some times is cases like in my previous post. Look at my last sentence. Is it correct, or should it say "in my new job" or "with my new job"?

Hello, all of you who is reading this thread. I recently read an article, explaining when to use than and when to use then in the English language  and I would recommend it for anyone struggling with english grammar. The website also have a lot of other articles covering english grammar.

 

Here you go!

Thanks but no thanks kadmium. I take great pride in my grammatic imperfections you see. Perhaps there will come a time when i will want to learn where to correctly put my thens and my thans. But not today, friend, not today.

Until than, wrongs will be better then rights.

 

Hmm, this post became quite silly, even more silly than i had planned. Ah well, wharryagonnado?

Hey! This is actually my first post in this thread. I'm fourteen years old and live just outside Oslo, Sandvika to be more specific. I usually spend my spare time playing soccer, jogging in the local forest or having fun with my friends. I find this thread necessary, because I really want to improve my proficiency in writing. If you find spelling errors or other slips, I would be glad if you let me know.

In two weeks, all the candidates for confirmation are travelling to Hurdal, a camp. It will be lots of fun, and I can't wait! Anybody else going to a camp this summer?

I hope not, I am looking forward to coming home from Crete. I think two weeks is far too much, one week is enough. Although, I can still drink cheap Martini *cheers*

Oh man...I HATE Perth

How can you hate Perth? I find that highly impossible.

 

But I guess it's all in what we want from a city.

I didn't really enjoy Melbourne either. Although I tasted a truly fantastic kangaroo steak there.

Eating.... Skippy...?

 

We didn't stay in Finnmark for two weeks Just over the weekend, and now I'm laying on a dubble-bed alone, with fanta and sørlandschips beside me and surfing the net on a hotel in Sweden! It's "underbart" Only negative thing that I can think of is that we are supporting the Hilton-family by staying in this hotel

It's very difficult to explain the taste. It's unique like nothing you've ever tasted.

Lol, I updated my DVD-ROM's firmware today. The upgrade tool was probably made by some japanese guy, cause the English was really, REALLY bad.

Here's an example. There are some more shitty language there, but I can't show you because I've already upgraded.

I just got myself a couple of albums by the Norwegian jazz artist Jan Garbarek. Anyone else heard something by him? I must say it sounds very beautiful, the way he can control the tone and volume with such ease. Going through the Legend of the Seven Dreams now.

[Gjest Slettet-XHLacM]

Unfortunately, I've never heard about him, but that's because I never listen to jazz. Maybe I should give it a try?

Yeah, my recomendation is Brad Mehldau. Great music listening to in the middle of the night during winter.

OMG! I've heard that sentence like a 1000 times! My boyfriend and his brother is always copying it... It was funny the first time, but now....NO WAY!!

[Gjest Slettet-XHLacM]

What a shame! It's funny as hell, accept it!
