Nothing better than the good ole then/than and when to use

@Blackhorse77 : " The way to keep the pair straight is to focus on this basic difference: than is used when you're talking about comparisons; then is used when you're talking about something relating to time. Than is the word to choose in phrases like smaller than, smoother than, and further than."
And don't get me started on your and you're!

@Vinbert : One thing I've noticed is that when I'm on certain sites, I will type something correctly and knowing I did so by checking it and then seeing later after it publishes that it was changed in that pages system to incorrect spelling. ( I literally just typed out incorect, saw the error, went to fix it by adding another r and watched it change to incc instead of adding the r.)

@chasinghosts : I'd be insane. I once spent a whole day on FB doing nothing more than replying to all the your/you're posts with the correct one. It got to be a thing...

@Vinbert : I gave up being careful, I just wait on FB until someone likes what I wrote and then I instantly see if there's an error, and go back in and fix them. I know, it can suck the life out of you.

@chasinghosts : Just out of curiosity, what browser do you use? Is this on your actual pc, or on a phone or tablet using an app? Is there any possibility someone jacked with your keyboard settings and has something set to automatically change to something else? That happened once at work, they set up their boss's keyboard to change one word to something else, every time it was typed. Just about drove him mad.

@Vinbert : I use a PC and use MS Edge w/ IE10 or Firefox, and have my auto correct turned off on the keyboard. I always set up my own systems unless I have a crash which I haven't on this one as yet.
