The Then-Than Epidemic
I have quite a few friends that have trouble with then and than. They’ll say things like “I’m better then you at football” or “it was more then I expected.” I always shrugged it off as a quick typo, thinking ahead of your typing. But after reading a respectable online news publication this morning, I believe this problem is bigger then I suspected.
From IHT.com:
“More then 1 in 100 American adults is in prison, report finds”
And that’s the headline. In case they fix it, I’ve included a screen grab.
