If I Were...Then I...
If I Were...Then I...
(Gotta stop making games, but since all the new members like them so much, might as well make another!)
Welcome to the game 'If I Were....Than I..."
This is how the game would be played. First the first poster would post something like 'If I were an asternaut' than the second poster would post what they would do if there were an asternaut.
ei;
Poster #1: If I were an asternaut....
Poster #2: I'd live on the moon!
Better example (Just doing an example! Gotta use names!)
Celebifly: If I ruled the world...
Silver: I'd make it illigal to say 'should of, would of, or could of' than Silver would post 'If I were....etc etc'
Got it?
If I had a million dollars....
Silver: I claim this topic in the name of grammar! ...And by that I mean I changed the name because it was wrong. 'Than' is for comparisons, 'then' is for times and results.

I'd bribe Congress to make it illegal to say 'should of', 'would of', or 'could of'.

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

I probably wouldn't know enough to correct Opal's spelling of 'then' and 'monkeys'.

PLEASE PLAY THE GAME RIGHT!
EACH SENTENCE HAS TO START WITH 'IF I WERE...' SECOND SETENCE HAS TO START WITH 'THAN I...'
If not, I'm gonna delete this thread if you guys can't play it right (getting really picky about my games >>)
I apologize for not doing that at the very beginning, but I'm half asleep, but I corrected myself in my next post.
