Is it supposed to be "more than" or "more then" when you want to say something? Ex. "I have more than what I need" or "I have more then what I need"

More than.

Than is used when comparing something. Then is used for time or order.

Then is used for time or order.

Or conditions :beer:

Are we closer to a war then we think

how about in this case? I think it should've been 'than'. I always use 'than' instead of 'then' it just doesn't sound right.

abush by reading your posts, you do sound youre actually from mars

 

[Abush]

Lol, The way I learned it was that we use 'than' and everyone is going around and saying 'then' I thought it was a mistake untill I saw it on a professional script. That had me wonder for a second.

 

[ZeXXo]

Ummm.. reminds me on people who mix up "their and there"..

It can get very annoying if you talk to many people who do that..

"I was their and there cookies were so great"... yeah sure they were

 

[Abush]

True! Some people....
