Hi Muriel,
Yes I know: "different than" is American (but many Americans have a British background -my girlfriend's mother was English-), "different from" is British hence Australian, Canadian, South African, New-Zealand En, etc.
When people try to tell me: "it's British English (meaning it's the reference)!", I ask them: "how many inhabitants in the UK? Tell me."

As my daughter speaks fluent American English, I can say different than when i talk to people who use that expression. I like to be a chamelon because what I like best is to get on well with people !"it's British English (meaning it's the reference)!",

Muriel,
My dictionary says "different than" for American English.
However I often hear "different to", this morning again.

I wouldn't say "different" to.Gérard a écrit:However I often hear "different to", this morning again.
you are right "different to" and "different than" exist
http://grammarist.com/usage/different/
Different than, which is especially common in the U.S., appears about twice for every three instances of different from in 21st-century newswriting from the U.S. and is common (though less so) in American books from this century. Different to, meanwhile, is nearly as common as different from in recent U.K. newswriting and is easily found in U.K. writing of all kinds not just from this century but from as long ago as the 18th century.
