Why do some Americans write "then" instead of "than"?
Why do some Americans write "then" instead of "than"?
That's an interesting question. I think it might be due to confusion between the two words. "Than" is used to compare things, while "then" is used to describe a sequence of events. Sometimes people might use "then" when they mean "than" because they are not familiar with the difference between the two words.
