Then vs. Than....the new You're vs. Your?
Is it just me or are there a preponderance of people confusing the word then for than? You're being confused with Your was midly amusing. Watching people butcher their vs. they're vs. there was always entertaining. This then vs. than is about to become irritating. Please tell me I missed a memo from Mr. Webster that declared that the two words are now interchangeable.
