Grammar Gaffe: The Wrong Word

This may not be a grammar gaffe, but one of my pet peeves is when people use the wrong word in print. Some words that are commonly used in the wrong context are then instead of than, and sense instead of since.

I assume it’s because of the way they pronounce the words.

Incorrect:

I like him better then I like her.

The correct word is “than.” Some people will write it “then” because that’s the way they pronounce the word.

Incorrect:

It’s been quiet sense you’ve been gone.

The correct word is “since,” but again, some people may use the incorrect word because they pronounce the word “sense.”

Are there other similar instances that you can think of?
