Eh, what's wrong with omitting a couple words now and then ๐
*than
It's actually then*, learn yourself before correcting others.

Nikki up there was lampooning me by suggesting that there was nothing wrong with missing a "couple words now and then" in order to humorously goad me for my previous statement about missing the word "of" in front of the word "couple"
My riposte, as dull as it were, was to insinuate that they'd used the wrong "then/than", thus harking back to the original subject of the admittedly pointless comment chain
But well done you for spotting the deliberate error, and my condolences for the difficulties you must encounter daily with your reading comprehension ๐
I stand corrected. I apologize for not paying more attention towards usernames, assuming that you're a completely different entity and making that dumb remark.
