Of course some people will say it's a matter of style and preference, but I just cannot mentally abide the use of the phrase "different to" in English English.

Of course some people will say it's a matter of style and preference, but I just cannot mentally abide the use of the phrase "different to" in English English. As in "well, that's very different to the current version", etc.
Difference indicates departing from something. It's "different from".
Oh well, I guess they'll just have to continue being obviously wrong...
