why is this not one way or the other?

addendum: wow, thanks everyone. I truly never knew it was a British vs. American spelling thing.

Than*

It's not British or American to just use the wildly-wrong word... That's just misusing words.

    Maybe they actually mean "then." As in after they mix American and British spellings to piss people off with nothing better to do, they attack people for their spelling choice.

    I think we should have a thn. This give both meaning at the same time.

    They prefer mixing spelling to piss people off compared to attacking people. That's why they attack people after pissing the people off.

    ¿Por que no los dos?

    It’s pretty clear. Not sure how you could have issues with it.

    Bro, do you understand what the difference between "than" and "then" is? Is English not your first language? You're the only one who doesn't seem to understand what I commented.
