You see "then" and "than" used not so goodly all the time.

I'd rather do this than that. (instead of).

I'd rather do this then that. (do one followed by the other).

Veering off slightly from grammar to spelling..........it astounds me how many "experts" examine their cards with a "loop" rather than what it is.....a loupe.

Not really a grammar issue, but it makes me cringe when someone types boarder instead of border when describing a card.
