lol. I'll be honest ATW. I thought you were referring to "than" over "then" as the FAIL in question. I did not assume you were thinking of "as" for your correction. little did I know you would be posting a poll in reference to this. the offending quote: "I have never been so sure that he's going to stay in Cleveland than I am right now." he should have said "I have never been AS sure ....... AS I am right now." or "I have never been MORE sure ..... THAN I am right now." so your FAIL post still applies, I concede. dude quoted can't talk.
Last one sounds wrong. But I don't know if "than" should be "as," or probably "as I am". Or even if you should put what is you're actually "sure of" before the preposition.
No capes, dahlin'. No capes. I was busy and barely got in the Hangout. ENGLISH can be an official language. It isn't specified that anyone would be punished or rectified if speaking it improperly. I believe that most people take the proper usage for granted. My response: "I have never been so sure than today" needs a comparative modifier if you're going to use "than", so the better sentence with "than" would be "I have never been more sure than [I have been]." I agree with whomever said "who cares about today?". But it still doesn't sound right without "I have been" somewhere there. I voted for the second sentence, but still use "as I have been today."
