Why do people on the interwebz....

[Northern Monkey]

Use the word 'then' in place of 'than'?

I see it so much that it almost makes me question my own grammatical knowledge.It only seems to be on the internet.

Only ever on the internet have I seen the phrase 'I couldn't care less' written as 'I could care less'. The second makes no sense, as it implies you do care.

I've heard people use the latter loads but I agree, it makes no sense to me at all.

Yeah I echo what other people have said in that it's the American version of that phrase, I've heard it lots on American TV shows

Why do people on the interwebz say interwebz instead of internet?
