I can’t believe how many people seem to not know the difference between then and than. They are not the same word at all. For some reason people tend to forget about “than” altogether and only use “then” and it is extremely annoying. So FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS DECENT please learn the difference between then and than. Then means next and than means instead of. Here are a few examples.

Proper Use of THEN

First I will shower, THEN I will get dressed.

I saw him fall THEN he cried like a baby.

Open up the system folder THEN click the remote login check box.

Proper Use of THAN

I’d rather eat grapes THAN grass.

Men are generally taller THAN women are.

Fried food is less healthy THAN raw vegetables.
