Default Whoopi Goldberg the wordsmith.

This is wowwowwow blog and is authored by everyone's favorite pundit Whoopi Goldberg, I should not cast stones according to SS, since I do not know the proper way to use then or than , but at least I picked up on this:

Quote:
I also thought that this idea of America first coming from her was kind of strange because she was one of the people who wanted to succeed from the United States. She was part of a campaign to succeed Alaska from the United States of America. So I’m glad she’s back, putting America first.

Almost missed this nugget:

This girl is dangerous to me. This is a very dangerous woman, because I believe for her intents and purposes, she’s OK if everybody lives a certain way, that is to say, the way God ordained men and women to be. Well, already she’s breaking that because she’s the daddy. She’s going to run the country and the husband is going to take care of the kids. I just found the whole thing sad and very musty and very much like a Bund rally, but maybe that was just me.

FYI - the only difference between then and than is then references a point in time, before, after. If it is not time that you are referencing, 'then' you use 'than'. I particularly made that sentence up like that, rather than show you an easy one!

And yes, I hated college English.

Hopefully that makes sense!

Thanks SM1, appreciate the idiots guide .

DT, not only that but than comparing it to a nazi party meeting. With friends like her, Keith Olbermann, John Steponurpenis, and Wolf Blitzen surely BHO cannot lose! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

You got it wrong. You are talking about time there. You are doing something 'after' you are doing something else.
