I got to 8 before my eyes went cross ways and I started seeing stars.

Think Level 8 is the last level - but, anyway, I finished it and, as part of the victory animation dance, you get a flying Brandreth.

I had to have a couple of goes at the last level (I was thinking "what's a momento?" and didn't immediately realise what it was supposed to be :)) ), but otherwise fine.

I took two goes for the first three levels and then was OK. :?

I got totally confused by the than/then thing - I was all focused on apostrophes and got sidetracked!

Level 8 took a couple of goes but I got all the others first time.

I see it quite a bit, PG - but maybe you move in more erudite circles ;)

Well, exactly - I never realised it was a thing, so wasn't thinking to look out for it. I've never noticed much confusion out there.

It's quite a common thing from Americans; I suppose it's the accent(s).

:)) All the other stuff seems very frequently wrongly used online, and often discussed.
