Common Errors in English and
How to Avoid Them
DIFFERENT FROM, THAN, TO-"

TT IS quite common to hear or read
sentences containing the word "dif-
ferent' followed by from, and new
er by than or to. One hears. "Yours
is a very different case than his"
whereas the proper form is 'YOurs
is a very different case from his"
One hears also, 81 have heard your
story, and Johns is different to it,"
correctly, Johns is different from it,"
differs from it." The Standard
dictionary says that the use of differ
ent to is an undesirable English col
loquialism.
The word different" denotes dis
tinction oil contrast Indicated by the
use of from, while comparison is
shown by than thus, my hat is differ
ent from yours, but your hat is better
than mine"
