I don't mean to be a vast hulking scab about this, but the phrase is longer than, not longer then.
I only mention it because I've seen the same error innumerable times in the same thread and it's easy to fix once you know it's there. |

Didn't catch your inflection before, but you seem to be saying either that people are correcting their mistakes (which they haven't) or that I didn't use modifiers carefully enough (which is probably true). If you're saying the second thing, then how does this work for you?:
"I only mention the error because I've seen it repeated several times on this very thread. Once you can identify a mistake, it becomes that much easier to fix." (I'm using first and second person because I don't wish to point to individuals.) |

I'm only guessing, but it seems like he was just taking the opportunity with the homophone talk to use "they're", "their" and "there" in a sentence.
