Don't mean to be picky, but why do so few people seem to know the difference between then and than? I didn't realize it was epidemic before becoming a Reddit regular.

Better word. I just thought people used to know, and are somehow getting infected with misuse!

It doesn't bother me as much as people that confuse worse and worst. "That car is the worse" ... or even in combinations lmfao "this car is worst then that one"

Worst is superlative, the highest value. Worse is comparative, so almost always goes with THAN... Those cars are always worse than these ones.

I swear it kills me.

Also phase vs faze. So many ppl use “this doesn’t phase me” instead of faze smh

Be grateful your brain listens for one malapropism! There are so many out there that I'm always wondering how many people slid through school with Ds because their teachers were too frustrated to insist on decent English.

Id say... multilingual people might have some difficulty....

But also, some idiots don't know how to write even their main language **Comme moi **

Knowing the difference and being immune to typos are two different things

carmium t1_j7105gs wrote

They are. And if a person types "thdn" I'm not going to say a word, because I've done dumber typos than that myself. But when many people born to English don't know the difference between a word for next, consequently, or at a certain time and a comparison term used with words like larger, greener, sleeker, and even dumber, it makes me shake my head.

I mean, “then” works too if it’s about trying, failing, and then wondering “what if I didn’t fail?” 🤔

^but ^it’s ^probably ^just ^illiteracy

That would work with the picture. You have a memory of your failure and not just dreaming of what could have been.

You're going to wonder "what if" even if you try. "What if I had done it differently?" "What if I had better timing?" "What if XYZ hadn't happened?" Learn to deal with the "What ifs."

You die with both. And this will decide your heaven and hell. During your very last dream, your regrets and wrong doings will be your hell. Good memories and dreams are your heaven.

What belief system is this?

Not sure if there’s any popular belief system similar to it but I was raised catholic and just evolved with that theory

Corporate wants you to find the different between "dying with memories" and "dying with dreams".

Me: It is the same picture.

This is true for relationships too. If you've been rejected despite trying really hard in the relationship, you can live the rest of your life knowing you gave it your all. They'll be the ones looking back and wondering.

a fm radio might just sound like noise until you stand infront of it

then music can be heard, no you are not a antenna

the waves bounce off the walls and over powers the original signal

until you shield it from the reflections

be a shield so the music can be heard

Well you can't take memories with you when you die. And if I remember right there was this Dr. that died with a dream that we still talk about.
