Whoo! You need some work, and I'm not talking about dentures!

You've got one primary recurring issue, and a couple of occidental minor ones. Nothing a little grammar check can't fix, though.

The big thing today is "than/then". Here's your x-rays:

Since you have root canales than you know [...]
You can remove this but than the tooth [...]

We'll need to do a grammatical canal here, and take those things out. I've had a replacement crafted, you may have heard of it. It's the remarkable "then".

"Then" is a part of speech that belongs to the Preposition family, and is typically used to start a supplemental phrase, often found just after a conjunction.

What we've got in here, see, is "than". Than's a comparator, and needs two things to work on. Something like "your post sounds more clumsy than a drunken ogre".

Now that we have that cleared up, I think we're good for today. Oh, there's some other issues like "canales" and "brook", but I think they may be typos that will clear up on their own. We can save those for another visit if need be.

Proofread every post, and don't forget to spellcheck!
