Which one is it?

Th**a**n is for comp**a**ring. I just noticed that they both have an "a" as I was writing it, so I decided to bold them. They are even both pronounced the same (At least in my dialect)

Of course "than" is correct here. But maybe the third person on screen meant something like, "Men are naturally smarter, and then come women."

As written, it should be "than" but if they're deleting from the left First men are naturally smarter, then women could work. They almost certainly didn't mean that though.

You could use “then” if you made the sentence into an ordered list: “In ranking human intelligence, men are first, then women.”

than is correct

It's woman

Than. Then is for orders. First, go to reddit. Then, look for English language. Lastly, post comment for help.

"Then" indicates an order. A, then B. "Than" is making a comparison. A is more than B.

Leave it to english speakers to speak the worst English ever

Now and than there’s a fool such as this guy

Always in my head I think it's a "CompAaaarison"

thæn

It is being used comparatively so “Than” is correct.

It's than. "Than" is used for making comparisons ("She read more often **than** him"), while "then" is used for describing sequences of events and timing ("**Then**, she went home").

than is correct

Men are naturally smarter, then women.

Is this even a question?

😂😂😂😂

Why is Jimmy Fallon in the chat?

Exactly than

Then is wrong. I can’t see a sentence where it could be made to make sense

It's than. Than refers to comparisons, then refers to passage of time.

than is for comparing things

than for comparison and then means after that/or later

Neither, because it's factually incorrect. But grammar-wise, it should be "than". https://grammarist.com/usage/than-then/

If anyone is confused about how to use "then" and "than" Whats important to note is this. 1. Then is used for time whereas than is used for comparing. 2. Then is an adverb/adjective whereas than is a conjunction/preposition 3. They are literally completely different words that have completely different linguistic categories. Its like aaking if the word "beautiful" can be used in the same place as the word "from". It makes no sense at all.

It’s than. Then is a time frame.

"Then" is what is to come, "Than" is to compare

“than” compares two things “then” describes series of events

ita so obviously than... how did you guys pass middle school

He forgot the comma. “Men are naturally smarter, then women” is correct /s

My little "hack" for this is that I connect the word "then" with "after", they both have E in it and "after" tells you that it means later.. And "than" is the other variant :)) hope this helps

Then continues a thought. Than is a comparing word. My friend and I went to the beach, then we thought about lunch. Friend: I like Burger King better than McDonalds. Ok then, let’s go to McDonald’s

Best part is this is probably one user with multiple burner accounts.

But "than" is correct or am i wrong?

Technically "then" does form a grammatically correct sentence, but the correct INTENDED word is "than."

than

than

Than = comparison. "This is greater than that." Then = passage of time. "Now and then."

Unsurprisingly, the misogynists are wrong.

Than, as in "Anyone is smarter than a sexist dingbat."

Marie Curie would like a word. So would Mrs. Goldberg, my English teacher.

Then = chronological emphasis (en pronounced like End or Enter) Than = direct comparison emphasis (an pronounced like Antique or Ant) I was washing dishes then dried them. Drying dishes was easier than washing them. The mud was all over the suit? Then the blue one is cleaner, go get it.

I barely speak english but I'm so agry when I see then instead than. It's so common nowadays.

It’s “than.”

"Than" is correct here. If you are making a comparison between two things, you use than. E.g: "Ten is greater THAN four." "Then" refers to a sequence of events. E.g: "I will eat my dinner THEN take a shower"

Men are naturally smarter, then women. It’s just missing a comma.

thAn = compAre thEn = timE

Man here!  The correct spelling is "than".  Incidentally, I believe women are generally better than men at grammar. I'm one of the rare exceptions where I'm both male AND better than the majority of people when it comes to grammar.  That said, there are women and men that are far better than me at grammar. 

Everyone in the comments didn’t get it lol

r/confidentlyincorrect

Than*

than

It’s than, I even know this as someone who’s not even a native speaker

As originally written, it should be “than”. I read the second correction (back to “then”) as making it read “men are naturally smarter[,] then women [are the smartest]”, which is certainly awkward, but is a way of reading it with “then”

funny enough these both could be right in certain contexts. obviously it was meant to be written as "than", but it could also be rewritten as "Men are naturally smarter, then women." unless im mistaken and completely wrong, that sounds right to me

its than

How is this a question?

88jj7.

It should read, "men are naturally smarter then women _are_ sorry". Doesn't make much sense though

Taken out of context. The full sentence is "If men are naturally smarter then women are naturally dumber".

wait but isnt it literally the other way around? i thought female brains had more wrinkles per square inch than male brains.

Than. Americans who have been speaking the language for 60 years still mess it up but then again they also voted for trump so...

Than

The joke here Oh. The correct use here is than.

The correct form in this context is “than.” Generally, “than” is used for comparisons and “then” is used when describing a sequence of events. Edit: quotation marks for clarity

ESL teacher here, it's "Than". Than: Comparison Then: Sequence of Time

Than … then refers to time

Forget the grammar, why is Jimmy Fallon posting this? 😆

There was a point where I believed I was in the wrong because people keep using "then" instead of "than"

Why do most natives use “then” instead of than. I’ve seen more than enough to pretend at this point- I just assume it’s close to how they pronounce it

It is than. Even though I've seen a lot of people make the mistake and use "then," it is than.

as usual, the woman is right. it’s ‘than’.

THAN!

the only way a "then" would fit in that sentence requires extra words to change the meaning of the actual sentence \* this sentence does not reflect my opinion \* If men are naturally smarter, then women WOULD be sorry Then can also describe a consequence.

"Than". She is correct.

I’ve read it as “than”

👆🤓 get owned cretin!

Hello

Thun

than is for comparison, then is for ordering events in time eg. 1 is smaller than 2.  eg. Firstly, this.Then, that.

Than, always than after an -er

Clearly ‘than’

R

"Than" is for comparing This compared to that (more or less) More than, less than "Then" is for telling the orders of what happened This then that Or at least that's how I understood it

Than is used for comparison and Then is used for sequencing events 

its than

Beautiful joke. It shows a man making a comment, using the incorrect word, and a woman correcting it (at least that is how I'm interrupting it). To the extent of someone else, another man possibly, trying to correct her for correcting him with the wrong word, proving the statement to be false (with men NOT being smarter than women). LMAO!

If it was written “… smarter, then women, …” it might be correct but here it’s almost certainly than.

Than is a comparison. Then means time order. He is stronger than him. First she arrived and then she arrived.

"then" He's obviously speaking biblical, where men are smarter (than other animals), *"then** women are created, so that is over

It’s than lol 😭

Than.

People often mistake "than" (comparative) for "then" (temporal). Just like "accept" and "except".

For some reason for me it is the other way around, I always had the impression that women are smarter. My mom is very smart and there were always more smart girls than smart boys in school

If than is better than then then then is worse than than.

If you put a comma, it could work though, right?

I think it's a meme. The first is correcting the OP. The second repost is making a joke, implying that "Men are naturally smarter, then women (are) sorry..." It's a bad joke...

than

You'd have to add a comma to use "then." As it is, it should be than.

Is than used more often than then, or is then used more often than than….

Grammatically “than”is correct.It is comparison degree 2,you can check by looking.He was use “Smarter” so yeah.

Than is comparison Then is a sequence

than

well this is actually interesting because technically men and women have the same mean average intelligence respectively, but if you graph it properly you can see that women tend way more to be average or close to average, meaning less women are highly intelligent, but also less women are just plain stupid (on the graph the shape is like an "n" where the y axis is population and the x axis is IQ). And men are more of a "u" shape, tending to be either quite smart or quite stupid. Of course, this is just statistics, so it's definitely possible to have a smart or dumb person of either gender.

than

Then is used for consecutive events. So "Men are smarter then women" would mean that the position switched at some point and women are smarter, now. Than is used for comparison. So Men > Women. This is what the original-original poster, the one who made the reply in the bubble in the image, wrongly meant and incorrectly said.

them if them isnt she or he (im jk)
