Stanzee, this is not directed at you. The confusion between when you use "then" or "than" is rampant. This is just a public service announcement. It does not bother me in the least that people don't know which one to use and I don't think any less of anyone's poker analysis because of it.

"than" is used for comparison.

"then" has to do with ordering.

Thank you, microbet... you rule.

Also, the word ridiculous has two i's, just like the word ridicule. The misspelling of that word may be even more common on this forum than then or than.

To round off the top 3, I would like to mention that you're using the word "your" incorrectly if you're adding apostrophes to your possessive pronouns or omitting them from your contractions. (nb: Daliman's use of the word "yer" is an acceptable idiomatic replacement for either the possessive pronoun, or the contraction. Therefore, if you can't spell you should probably just always use "yer" like Daliman does.)
