It's "herd" not "heard"

[tncattle]

I'm no English professor but come on. I'm noticing Yankees spelling it that way also!

It's also "bred" not "bread" like we eat!

:lol:

 

[tistis]

[dun]

Also quarters not udders

Won't even go into the whole sell sale thing

 

[Alan]

So, you're (or is it your or ur) implying this is just a dumb Yankee problem? :mrgreen:

I consider myself pretty good in English (not to bad considering I'm from Tennessee), but I always have difficulty when using "Then" or "Than". What's the rule on this?

 

[cmf1]

I preferred that than this, then I changed my mind and wanted this than that.

Use than when doing comparisons as in "I'd rather raise black cows than any other color."
Use then when working on time or sequences. "I first bought them red and white cows then realized I'd made a mistake and then bought them black cows and have been much more profitable since then cause them black cows do so much better than the red and white cows."

Just keep repeating those two sentences then you'll never make a mistake.

Who is she? Have I seen her yet?

As long as we know what a person is trying then communication has been made. Spelling and usage is not about IQ. Back when we were in school most of us ran from a typewriter and hds a girlfriend write our term papers.

We went to the cattle sale then we ate lunch.
I would rather have a truck than a car.

A person bales hay, not bails hay.
A calf is not out of a bull. It comes out of it's momma.

I am going to the store.
Would you like to go too?
