      Yep, that’s why. Native english speakers in my part of the world even have trouble remembering the difference because ‘than’ is actually pronounced the same as ‘then’ in normal conversation. It is a common thing for people to call others out for as an easy ‘win’ on the internet, so sorry if my tone was defensive.
