Then vs. Than
This is a pretty random post, but it’s something that really bothers me (and I think my friend Steve would agree). A lot of people I know do not know the difference between ‘then’ and ‘than’, so here it is:
Then has to do with time or order of events. It’s linear. For example: I’m going to shower, then go to the movies. or Great! We can meet up then.
Than is comparative. 4 is less than 5 or I’d rather play baseball than run. I like Star Wars more than Lord of the Rings
So there you have it. Feel free to bookmark this for future reference. I’ll have another tech related post up soon.

Oh, I definitely agree with you. I always no when dumb people our around because there always confusing than and then. Know one should be allowed to right without no’ing the difference. Its to easy.
