Guess it's like Bologna.... I just don't know.

(I can't decide if this then/than thing is a regional dialect thing, or just ignorance) Whichever it is . . .

READ AND LEARN !!!!

"Than" is a conjunction used with comparisons. It rhymes with pan.
Example: She likes you more than me.

"Then" is an adverb that refers to time. It rhymes with pen.
Example: First you take a cup of flour, and then you sift it.

There's more than that there that needs correction.

Can you tell which thing is not like the others

Did you guess which thing was not like the others?
Did you guess which thing just doesn't belong?
If you guessed this one is not like the others,
Then you're absolutely...right!
