There really is no easy way to answer that question and it's probably best left to your doctor to discuss that with you.

Multiple broken sentences and lack of periods. You also created a new pronoun! If you're going to be a grammar nazi then you could try to lead by example. :P

Ha! I contend that using the wrong word occasionally doesn't affect the quality of communication. Consider the following examples:

Belgian porters may be stout.
I chilled my wart.


So, if Helen Keller is a deaf moot, is that irrelevant?

People are definately suppose to proofread there posts; that way your going to make less mistakes, then without, proofreadign.

After all, rules of grammar is something schools should insure their alumnis know about.

Sometimes the then/than errors can be funny, such as "I'd rather be p*ssed off then p*ssed on."

The only grammar Nazi I can't stand is the guy who uses a typo as an argument in a debate.

"Well, clearly your argument is invalid because you hit the wrong button..."
