Because I am a grammar Nazi, and I am sick of seeing bad grammar and ill-used tenses, I want people to choose between "then" and "than" to fill the blank in the following sentence:
"I would rather be hugged ________ eaten."
Go. Your response is indicative of not only your mental state, but your ability to perceive a spatial relationship between two events.
I would rather be hugged than eaten. Then implies I want to be eaten after being hugged.
"I would rather be hugged, not eaten."
+1 lol
I would rather be hugged then eaten. >:D

Use comma's, don't make people think your a psycho.

And ditch the extra apostrophe in comma's. Nothing here belongs to the comma. >:D

Definitions: your; you're. And for extra credit,
yor. Go.
Where do you leave yer?
While we are on oft-confused words, I'll add:
their, there, they're
to, too, two
of, have (this one is so weird, I see people 'of you seen that?', and it drives me nuts)
and a spelling-nazi entry: definitely, definately

Which is why you engage Brain
before engaging fingers when you post.
And it's still bad form and against the rules to nuke a post. Want it to disappear? Have a mod do it.

Agreed. If they choose to restore it, that is their choice and I cannot complain.

Well, you could complain. And probably be ignored and the rest of us will dog you for it! >:D

Interesting question...Yes, no nuking posts...but if it's something that comes off wrong (miss typed Six, etc.), you can edit the post...
