        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
