    I read an article that says something like "Result #1 is different to Result #2."

    I always thought it was "different from."

    "From" implies moving away from something, thus stressing "different."

    "To" implies coming closer, so that the two compared things are similar.

    @Aqua-Letifer and other wannabe grammarians...thoughts?

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      "different to" is British. "Different from" is American.

      Please love yourself.

        @Aqua-Letifer thank you.

        Once again, the Brits make no sense.

        I suppose it fit, inserting all those unnecessary "u"s everywhere.
