Tamar, I've said this before here:
Different FROM (as in moving away FROM it in similarity)
Similar TO (as in approaching TO it in similarity)
But many people in UK say "different to"
- Whoever said that women are the weaker sex never tried to wrest the bedclothes off one in the middle of the night
- Worry is the interest you pay, in advance, for a loan that you may never need to take out.
