Another person who uses "then" rather than "than".

As Prof. Julius Sumner Miller asked "Why is it so?"

1. Test your usage. Ask yourself these questions when you're writing a sentence:
   
   • If I write the word next instead of then, will the sentence still make sense?
     
     • I will go to the store next makes sense, so here we would say I will go to the store then.
     • I like apple better next oranges makes no sense. So we must be looking for I like apples better than oranges.
     
     
   • If I write the phrase in comparison to instead of than, will the sentence still make sense?
     
     • It costs more in comparison to a new car makes sense, so you'd want to say It costs more than a new car.
     • You'll never guess what happened to me in comparison to does not make sense at all. Now you'll know you want to say You'll never guess what happened to me then!

I was wandering as I was wondering, or was it the other way round?
