              I'm definitely guilty of screwing up this word.

                Would someone please enlighten me about the use of the word teh? I read it so freakently that I cannot believe in a simple typing error.
                Why doing it the easy way if it is possible to do it complicated?

                          I pronounce "then" with an e like in "let", and "than" with an a like in "and", but maybe that is wrong
                          I pronounce 'than' "dun" or "thun" (e.g. I'm better thun you) whereas I'd pronounce 'then' in a similar fashion to you (with a long 'e' sound).

                            My big 3 pet peeves:

                            Not knowing the difference between less vs. fewer.

                            Not using the subjunctive correctly ("if I were" not "if I was")

                            Using quotation marks for emphasis. Note to small business owners everywhere: a sign reading

                            Yes, We're "Open"

                            means you're not open, but trying to fool your customers for some reason.

                              You study english or physics or history, not englishs or physicss or historys.

                              I think this is a case of you're own parochialism affecting your viewses of whats is properses.

                                "Math" (or maths) is an abbreviation of "mathematics". Are they rules for spelling of abbreviations?
