And that's why i'm no longer anal about people using modern words.

Except when people use then instead of than. That kind of thing can drive a man to murder.

I find sentences that have two 'that's in them annoying. It's annoying that that works that way.

My proposition is to create a new single word, thithat, which has the same meaning as two that's next to eachother. I pronounce it that way when I'm speaking. Two that's in a row doesn't seem odd when spoken, only when written down. Therefore: thithtat. It won't be annoying anymore thithat works that way.

ed: And yes I know, you can just use one 'that' but that's not often done when speaking.

ed2: Dammit. The first usage in history of the word thitthat, and I spelled it wrong.

If only you had had a second chance to submit the post ;-)

I sure hope 'literally' doesn't get a new definition in the dictionary because of its common misuse by "kids these days"...
