The many misused words on message boards are at times hilarious. I think a class room thread is needed. Please add to this, I will start with lesson #1.

Then vs. Than (In short review)

Then = a time
Than = a comparison

Example:


Then (time) - I am going to down one last shot of Jack, and then I am going to fall up the down escalator.

Than (comparison) - I should have taken the elevator rather than the escalator.


Test: (Multiple choice)

1) Don't drink than drive.
2) Don't drink then drive.
