THEN
At that time: I was still in school then. Come at noon; I'll be ready then.
Next in time, space, or order; immediately afterward: watched the late movie and then went to bed.
In addition; moreover; besides: It costs $20, and then there's the sales tax to pay.
Used after but to qualify or balance a preceding statement: The star was nervous, but then who isn't on the first night of a new play.
In that case; accordingly: If traffic is heavy, then allow extra time.
As a consequence; therefore: The case, then, is closed.
n.
That time or moment: The bus leaves at four; until then let's walk.
adj.
Being so at that time: the then chairman of the board.
THAN
Used after a comparative adjective or adverb to introduce the second element or clause of an unequal comparison: She is a better athlete than I.
Used to introduce the second element after certain words indicating difference: He draws quite differently than she does.
When.
Used especially after hardly and scarcely: I had scarcely walked in the door than the commotion started.
prep. Usage Problem
In comparison or contrast with: could run faster than him; outclassed everyone other than her.
this is kind of a pet peeve with me. I hate it when people mix these words up.

hahahaha. I used to have trouble with that. They're just so similar. I go out of my way to make sure I type 'then' and 'than' correctly.
-
than -> comparison
then -> no comparison

my biggest pet peeve is when people write"your" instead of "you're". Rule of thumb => You're = You Are. Your = something that belongs to you (ex: Your spelling sucks vs. You're bad at spelling). Peace
-
why do people give a fuck about spelling and grammar?
i tend to read what peoples' opinions and points are rather than if they have correctly spelled everything they typed
anyone else agree? ???

bottom line is.....it's a hip hop forum on the internet, so grammar isn't really important. So fuck it.

british people are the worst when it comes down to typing (no offence to the exceptions, lol)

Also, the collocation of "to come down" is inadequate in your statement. You would have had to say "when it comes to typing". Learn English, please

1. This topic inspired me to change my name. In other words, I can proudly claim that I do know how to tell than and then apart and did it intentionally...c.f. also my post for Mauzip
2. I donīt know why and how the fuck a bowl of grits is supposed to be tight. You donīt wanna tell me itīs your first confrontation with this dubcc running gag?

1. Thanks for the prop, hereīs one for you
2. A running gag is always what you make it. I wouldnīt claim that this variation no. 20003 that iīve made is particularly hilarious, i just did it and besides, I liked the pic of the black guy with the bowl of grits...peace
