Difference between "Then" and "Than"

[quexos]

Ok guys from time to time we all make spelling mistakes and having a perfect writing is not as easy as it seems but I have noticed that too often and I mean way too often do people completely mix the use of "Then" and "Than" and frankly it kind of stands out as light in the middle of the night so here is a little reminder of the correct use of those two words:

"Then" is used for a continuation of something you are saying as in "I'll take that time off then I'll get back to taking care of my problems"

"Than" is exclusively used for a comparison between two values as in "Bill Gates has more money than J.K. Rowling"

So please try not to abuse the uses of those two words in sentences such as "He is better THEN I thought" cause it really doesn't do it
