          I guess I mixed up than and then. Happens to me all the time because my native language doesn’t have the distinction so they sound the same to me. If you have a good rule of thumb when to use which, enlighten me. Otherwise use your brain and don’t be a dick next time.

            Drama aside, then is used for time, whereas than is for comparisons.

            • I am taller than her

            • And then we watched a movie

            An example correctly using both back-to-back would be:

            • I was weaker back then than I am now
