For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

"Quilted" toilet paper is just scam to get you to buy less toilet paper for the same money.
It's not stronger.
It's not softer.
It weighs half as much as regular toilet paper and lasts half as long for the same price.
You are paying for air.

Fight me.

It's "different from".

"Similar to"; "different from"; "less/greater than". "Different than" doesn't make sense.

@thrawn21 Phones are too big, too heavy and too complicated. A few years ago my now "regular" sized phone would be called a tablet.

The ability to spell well has nothing, or very little, to do with intelligence.
