Description
I noticed this mistake in a YouTube video title and tested if Harper flags it:
> Space Invaders is more complicated that you think.
It turns out we don't flag it even though we have a `ThatThan` linter.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the `ThatThan` linter and reproduce the reported sentence, “Space Invaders is more complicated that you think.” Trace how this example is analyzed and add coverage for the missed error; done means the linter flags the sentence.
