But today, that is different: I found an easy one for you!
You might like to say “different than” if you’re American or Canadian or “different to” if you’re basically any other sort of English speaker.

Even Cambridge says that “different to” is used “especially when speaking,” which, of course, is a nice British way to say WRONG.
