I'd ban Nickona for using 'then' instead of 'than' in a couple of previous posts.

I'd ban Nickona for using a 't' instead of a 'y', and for not knowing the difference between then and than.

I'd ban Nickona for not being able to use a dictionary.
"Then" is a measure of time, as in "back then, when I was younger".
"Than" is a measure of more or less, as in "His truck is bigger than mine".

I'd ban Nickona for denying what is clearly a genuine quote... the mere accusation that it's a forgery is libelous and wrong!

Lol at Urban Dictionary's definition
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobic: "Fear of big words, quite ironic when you think about it."
I'd ban Nickona for failing to adequately integrate his elongated nomenclatures into his common parlance. Also, because if he does not desist from conversing through his hindquarters we all run a substantially elevated risk of contracting the Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis epidemic.
And for not knowing that for a really long word go german, they have unlimited length words. e.g.
Donaudampfschiffahrts elektrizitäten haupt betriebs werkbau unterbeamten gesellschaft

I'd ban airsofter for not knowing the longest german word; Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerk-
bauunterbeamtengesellschaft means: association of subordinate officials of the head office management of the Danube steamboat electrical services
Acording to Mark Twain: "Some German words are so long that they have a perspective."

I'd ban Nickona because I want to go off topic and express my opinion on that word.
Would it not be easier to just say the sentence rather than the word?
