I enjoyed your explanation of Dam or Damn, but this led to another question. You wrote, “Still no nicer then the last time you saw her.” You have used the word then, when I think it should have been than. So is it then or than? Sounds like it’s time for another article.

“Dam” is correct if you're using phrases such as “I couldn't give a dam.” A “dam” is an Indian coin of very little value. Although, ever since it's infamous misuse in Gone With the Wind (“Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn”), “damn” has entered common usage (particularly in the USA).

Thanks to clarify this 2 words, because sometimes I made the same mistake…. I say “dam” instead of “damn”.
