disinterested/uninterested

How about addressing this one next time? Disinterested meaning having no vested interest or private agenda to be pursued; uninterested meaning

bored, lacking involvement, unwilling to get involved. I've lost count of the number of times I have seen this mistake in Literotica stories.

Very helpfull!

Hello there Velvetpie, this article is

very helpfull and I know is appreciated.

Two other words come to mind here,

that although sound similar are different

in spelling and meaning.

"Than" is used in a comparative setting.

Lois likes high heels better THAN flats.

"THEN" is used when there is an element

of time.

Harold drove his truck to the coalyard and

bought a ton of anthracite, THEN he drove home

and unloaded it into the coal bunker.

When I did not know what to do, my psychologist (or friend or wife or book), gave me good counsel.
