    Indeed. I literally never use the word “than”. Fuck grammar, “than” looks weird.

    I never say “than”, I say “then”, therefore it just seems right to spell it how I always say it.

    Edit: I wonder what the most downvoted comment is on Lemmy World, am I making history?

        If it was an actual formal writing I would use proper grammar but other then (oh man what do I do here) that I never really use than.

          Hilarious when people want to resort to “I WASN’T WRITING FORMALLY” in these situations. Just take the L and acknowledge it was a flub. Much less cringe that way.

          Lol it’s not grammar, you’ve used an entirely different word that just sounds kinda similar. You’re essentially saying the actual words used don’t matter in these two sentences because they sound similar:

          I like to wear t-shirts
