I should have said hello, first! Hi. I hope you are all happy and healthy!
> Oh, and because "different" is a comparitive, not a superlative, you say "different from," not "different than."
Untrue. Different is not a comparative; "better" is. That's why something is "better than" but not "better from." Different goes beyond comparitive. It's too different to compare. One thing can't be more different than another.
O.K. I am truly finished now.
Take care, everyone!
