Anjou, Bartlett or Bosc are familiar names of pears, but Wrangler is a new one.

No, no!
That person was referring to a new style of jeans for people who are a bit...broad in the beam.

New Wrangler Pears, for the pear-shaped person in your life!

Typing the word "then" instead of "than"...
The weather was better yesterday "then" it is today. Do they actually say the
word "then" instead of "than" when they speak or is it just misspelled when they post?

It seems this thread has gone "pear-shaped."

I have always found odd to see how people seem to get than/then wrong.
Maybe is it because they are pronounced the same?

But, they aren't pronounced the same. Than rhymes with Dan; then rhymes with hen,

Give them a couple of more years, and they'll be in the dictionary.

I like that!

Often, everything one person writes is so bad that spelling errors are expected but sometimes it's only a word or two.
Are there degrees of 'badness'?
Most people do a little better than this.
