Pet Peeve

Pet Peeve: When I see 'then' but the location really requires 'than'. I try to ignore it, but I always notice it.
I think its because accents in some parts of the world make those two words sound the same, so it doesn't matter. In New Zealand 'then' and 'than' sound completely different so its hard to understand how anyone could make that mistake.
On a side note: 'beer', 'bear', 'bare' all sound
exactly the same in spoken NZ English.
