Please state what country your phrase tends to be used, what the phrase is, and what it should be.

Example:

In America, recently came across “back-petal”, instead of back-pedal. Also, still hearing “for all intensive purposes” instead of “for all intents and purposes”.

    One thing is different from another, not than. One thing differs from another. It’s different from the other thing.

    Although in the UK it’s “different to” for some reason.
