Wiktionary 让美国人民站起来 （二）

by Forrest Sheng Bao http://fsbao.net

我刚才看一个paper，我自己写的，tmd居然冒出啦一个 different to

我说，我操，我怎么会写这么 un-American的英语呢？

于是trace back，最后发现是有一次让我妹妹proofreading的时候她改的

在美利坚，我们非但不说different to, 还要说different than

韦氏词典100年前开始就充分嘲笑英国英语，自由人说be different from, 女王奴才说be different to

Wiktionary更加爱国：Of these, from is more common in formal registers than in informal ones, and more common in the U.S. than elsewhere; than is more common in the U.S. than elsewhere; and to is more common in the U.K., in Australia, and in New Zealand than in the U.S. Style guides often advocate from, by analogy with differ from (rather than *differ than or *differ to).

韦氏词典第一次让美国人站起来，Wiktionary让美国男人的小JJ都站起来了。

让tmd女王去死吧! 效忠女王，王室和后裔？ 效忠星条旗，共和国和所有人的公平正义！
