Screeching!

Good Day!

Already! Then and than! These two little four letter words are so mixed up so often on tickers, blogs, social networks! It drives me crrraaazzzzyyy! Let's try to get this cleared up.

Then is a an event word. E = event  Then can be used in a series or chronologically. Examples - Then we went to the City, then we added the hot coals, then it happened.

Than is a comparison word. A = comparison  Than can be used when comparing. Examples - The Dude is cooler than ordinary people, she is happier than he is, I would rather go to San Francisco than Sacramento.

Two simple little four letter words that can be used in proper format when using the mnemonic clues of "e" and "a" - event and comparison.

Now onto the latest. Please check out a colleague's opinion about the word usage of "refudiate."

Have a wonderful day!
