Bonnets on or off?

[Duke of Delrio]

#79 posts and counting.... I've gone this many rounds with my son who insists on wearing a hat indoors and to the dinner table. I feel like a grandma complaining about the younger generation and losing ground.

When I was 11, we touched the brim of our caps as we passed others on the street, especially those older than us, er we.

Want to argue whether than is a conjunction or a preposition?

Well, as every gentleman knows, "than" is always a conjunction when used in church while uncovered, and it is always a preposition when used in a cemetery while covered. I would avoid that "covered" part in a cemetery for as long as possible . . . because, to the above rule, there are no known exceptions. Glad to be of help.
