The remains of King Tut's body are in bad shape, and his bones run the risk of disintegrating into dust sooner than later with the growing number of tourists coming to visit the young pharaoh.

I think that 'sooner than later' is the typo of 'sooner or later'.
Am I right? If I'm wrong, 'sooner than later' is common among native speakers, too?
Thanks. |

| I like "sooner or later" much better, but I believe I've heard it the other way too. |
