From a blog (regarding how many queries the writer has in her inbox):
"I do believe I have fewer then 25 waiting to be read and responded to..."
"Than" is usually used in comparisons, as in "fewer than."
"Then" is usually used to indicate time, as in "Then, we went to the movies."
Sometimes I think this mistake is a typo, but then I truly think some don't know the difference between "then" and "than."
Is it a typo for you or confusion?

I think it is because some people say "fewer than" or "less than" sloppily, so other people hear "then" instead of "than".
