Correct preposition following different? Redux
Warsaw Will Dec-30-2012
"@Hairy Scot - Hi. I don't think "different to" falls into your PS category, as it's pretty old. It seems in fact to be an older usage (1520) than "different from" (which is first attested to in Shakespeare)"
I have searched all of my Shakespeare collection and I can find no examples of "different to".
