than for then, then for than. I don't understand why that is so difficult, one is an adverb the other a conjunction or preposition, they are spelled differently, pronounced differently, and have different meanings
thEn has an E, like the word nExt, which is what then means. thAn has an A, like the word rAther, which is what IT means.
Speaking of word confusion, fewer and less. If you can count them then they are fewer. If you cannot count it, then it is less. It takes me less time to explain this effectively than it does for you to mess it up, which results in fewer mistakes.

Those objects are not in the mirror, nitwit. Objects are closer than they appear in the mirror.

What happened to this vase?
I don't know.
Someone broke it.
Wasn't me!
Mom always said, don't play ball in the house
Peter Brady said that if I recall. Or Maybe Bobby. Pretty sure it wasn't Greg. I think Greg broke the vase/lamp.
(Going by memory so far. Now I want to google it.)
Google search determines I was only partially right,......
Peter touched the ball last,... not Greg, and Bobby delivered the line.
Poor leadership on Greg's part. Shoulda got an ass whoopin'. Probably only got grounded. That's what's wrong with America. Not enough ass whoopin'.
