The amount of comment--thousands and thousands of words--might lead you to believe that there is a very complicated or subtle problem here, but there is not. These three phrases can be very simply explained: _different from_ is the most common and is standard in both British and American usage; _different than_ is standard in American and British usage, especially when a clause follows _than_, but is more frequent in American; _different to_ is standard in British usage but rare in American usage. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de
