More so, when someone uses "then" instead of "than".  |

It's funny, but I'm not sure it's a grammar issue. It's a confused spelling issue due to a homophone. Does that still mean it's a grammar issue? |

Selfish passion is unquenching.
What strength have you when you are a slave to your passions?
What power without strength of character?
To self centered rage, you will be chained.
The dark side is no victory.
The long path to peace is through balanced emotions.
The first step to gaining knowledge is recognizing your own ignorance.
Serenity is patient, not passionate satisfaction.
Find harmony by understanding chaos.
Become one with the force, which will never die.

GRAMMAR: noun 1. the study of the way the sentences of a language are constructed; morphology and syntax. 2. these features or constructions themselves: English grammar. 3. an account of these features; a set of rules accounting for these constructions: a grammar of English. 4. Generative Grammar. a device, as a body of rules, whose output is all of the sentences that are permissible in a given language, while excluding all those that are not permissible. 5. prescriptive grammar. 6. knowledge or usage of the preferred or prescribed forms in speaking or writing: She said his grammar was terrible. 7. the elements of any science, art, or subject. |

If a canon said cannon you could fire him out of a cannon then you would have a canon in a cannon and a canon without a cannon. Of course, none of that would be grammatically correct, but he could accidentally cannon off a nearby tall building with a steeple. That would be a shame for the canon involved & possibly the steeple, oh & the pavement. EDIT: Not sure if the last cannon should actually be a canon or not. I do know that I like the sound of cannons, canons & even steeple's. Oh and sidewalks. |

Speaking of sidewalks I walked up a steep hill and I felt great when I reached the top! |

Yeah like this one; It's also a bad use of the letter K. Lower case k can be use to denote the prefix "kilo" for 1000. Capital K in thermal units is used to denote the Kelvin scale of temperature. When I looked at this I initially read as 15K (not 15k) which is only 15° above Absolute Zero (the temp at which all matter stops moving), also known as -273°C. Which would make liquid nitrogen seem like a hot beverage by comparison.  It's funny, but I'm not sure it's a grammar issue. It's a confused spelling issue due to a homophone. Does that still mean it's a grammar issue?
No, it's not a spelling error because both words are spelled correctly, even though they sound similar. Think about it. If you did this on a word processor, it would flag it with a green underline for a GRAMMAR error, not the red line that denotes a misspelling. "Then" refers to sequence, while "than" refers to a comparison. |

Lowes...the home improvement store.
I go in, looking for a flat, angled, grounded plug I can switch out from a straight grounded plug, on an extension cord. They got a wall of replacement plugs/sockets, for all types of applications. It's Lowes, after all.
So can any one explain why there is not ONE fecking angled replacement plug in this section?!?!
The employee says that it's not in high demand. Um, hello...I always carry 2 condoms, I told him. So if anyone needs one, I got it covered, as well as if someone takes one, I'm still left with one. But Lowes, NNOOOOO! They got feckin Cheetos and Grandmas peanut butter cookies, but not important spit!!
I'm done...bomb that bish!

I was, but I didn't wanna drive the extra 10 minutes(with traffic) outta the way to get it, cuz the traffic getting outta that POS area would've caused some serious road rage. I think the little shop by my house has one, but it's the principality of it. There's an ACE hardware in town and that place isn't worth squat either. Plenty of copper pipes, no couplings or fittings. Idiots |

It's super aggravating when someone tries to befriend you by trying to like everything you like and do everything you do. That's not friendship. That's creepy.
