DIFFERENT THAN |
 | DIFFERENT FROM/TO |
Americans say “Scuba-diving is different from snorkeling,” the British
often say “different to” (though most UK style guides disapprove), and many say
“different than, ” though to some of us this sounds weird. However, though certain conservatives object, you can usually get away with “different than” if a full clause follows: “Your pashmina shawl looks different than it used to since the cat slept on it.”
