Argh

Then: implies a sequence. It may be a sequence in time.  Mine the diamonds THEN send them for valuation.  Or it may be a sequence in location. Red, THEN orange, THEN yellow, as in rainbow.

Than: implies a comparison. Childiak has a higher per tonne valuation THAN Snap Lake. It is preferable to have more diamond in less rock THAN it is to have less diamonds in more rock.

Then and than are not the same word. Then and than are not interchangeable.

I was asked if English was my second language. My observation is that people with English as the second language pay more attention to grammar than the ones with English as the mother tongue ( than then, were we're, so on).

Wouldn't sweat it too much. I sometimes chance a word into two words that make no sense at all. Try to get the proper grammar. For example. If I wanted to type 'The frost here is crazy'. I might type 'The for rest here is crazy'. The brain just changes things on the way to the hands. Typing 100 wpm does that as well...but man, I look at some of the things I type and what ...more

read this without paying too much attention. Basically just glance at it and read as fast as you can, then read it paying more attention.
