Juancho's notebook entry: Apr 30, 2010
I’m confuse, in the Black Eye Peas song “Meet me halfway”, the expression “I can’t go any further then this” its right? I mean, it’s not better to say “I can’t go any further than this”, as they are trying to say something like “I can’t go beyond this point”.

It might be written to procure the rhyme. You know, because of the rhyme, writing is elastic.

Juanas. I checked various versions of the lyrics in question on Google. Both "then" and "than" are used. I think both are grammatically incorrect. It should be "I can't go on like this". However, if you want me to choose between the better of the two devils, I will go for "than" instead of "then".
