and we got a lot of Drain Bamage thread this week....
if i can get to yellow belt , i'm going with a thread ''Then & Than'' are we using them correctly ?
 
Because they are. One is a noun and one is a verb.
The same word can have different meanings or be a noun and a verb. I just don’t understand why they couldn’t do that for these words

Because they're different. You can effect an affect and affect an effect. Not the same phrase. You can say thank you and you can say thanks -- but you cannot say thanks you. I don't know why. I didn't make up the rules.
