the different pronunciations of 'then' and 'than' are diminished depending on where you are from. These memes of mispronunciation are probably the main reason people spell out the wrong word (like mute instead of moot, affect vs effect) and it spills into a misuse of the word.
Keep sniping each other and i'll shut this thread down and hand out warnings, if that's what you prefer.
