Than

What do we mean by than?

Used after a comparative adjective or adverb to introduce the second element or clause of an unequal comparison. conjunction

Used to introduce the second element after certain words indicating difference. conjunction

When. Used especially after hardly and scarcely: conjunction

In comparison or contrast with. preposition

At that time; then. See then.

A particle used after comparatives, and certain words which express comparison or diversity, such as more, better, other, otherwise, rather, else, etc., and introducing the second member of a comparison.

Sometimes the preceding comparative is left to be inferred from the context; sometimes it is omitted from mere carelessness. A noun or a pronoun after than has a show of analogy with one governed by a preposition, and is sometimes blunderingly put in the objective case even when properly of subjective value: as, none knew better than him. Even Milton says than whom, and this is more usual: for example, than whom there is none better.

Then. See then. adverb

A particle expressing comparison, used after certain adjectives and adverbs which express comparison or diversity, as more, better, other, otherwise, and the like. It is usually followed by the object compared in the nominative case. Sometimes, however, the object compared is placed in the objective case, and than is then considered by some grammarians as a preposition. Sometimes the object is expressed in a sentence, usually introduced by that. conjunction

(usually used with for) Because; for. conjunction

Used in comparisons, to introduce the basis of comparison. conjunction

Introduces a comparison, and is associated with comparatives, and with words such as more, less, and fewer. Typically, it seeks to measure the force of an adjective or similar description between two predicates. preposition

At that time; then. adverb

At that time; then.

On the internet, this word does not exist. It is an anachronism - an attempt to hold on to the old ways of proper English. Don't bother using it. People under the age of 25 will just assume you made a typo while typing "then". Urban Dictionary
