American's use of 'then' instead of 'than'
Firstly, no offence intended to the North Americans, just an observation from my time on this and other forums.
I have noticed that posters from the US will type:
....blah blah more then blah blah
instead of
...blah blah more than blah blah
Anyone know why this seems to be predominant US writing trend??
I just saw it in one of the moderators notices (on the film & tv board), which prompted my question.
