Clearly I upset a few people with my comment on the correct use of prepositions in the English language. My apologies also for miss-spelling the word "grammar". Ouch! For those who still might be interested, the prepositions "to", "with" and "from" are governed by the original latin prefix of the modern english verb. So, it's "commensurate with", etc.. "Compared to" and "different to" make the hairs on my back stand on end! I didn't mean to insult anyone - especially from outside the UK - I just think it a pity that the roots of the English language, after about 15 centuries of Roman influence, are now being destroyed. With best regards, Andrew. Last edited by Kevin H; 10-05-09 at 11:33 AM. |
