   I was surprised to see that you were able to spell "inarticulate" but I   
   see now that you had to resort to a dictionary for spelling AND meaning   
   and could merely "cut and paste" the resultant text into your missive   
   here. It's indeed a pity than you can't do the same for the words "then"   
   and "than". There might then be a possibility that you might be able to   
   use those two simple words in their correct context rather than misusing   
   them as you so often do.   
      
   How typical for a chap who gets all his knowledge of Asian culture from   
   novels. At least James Clavell managed to do the appropriate research   
   and get HIS facts correct. But then, his research was into a period   
   dating from the mid eighteen hundreds so his usage of various terms was   
   appropriate for the era. It might have slipped your notice but we are   
   now into 2011 and a degree of modernity has crept in and has had its   
   influence on the culture and languages of Asia. Read some novels on   
   MODERN ASIA and update your cultural knowledge. You are way out of sync.
