Coming from a British background, I was so shocked that someone would say "different than" on TV. I've since found out that it's commonly said in the US but I have to clench my teeth each time I hear it to stop myself from correcting the person.

Well, it wouldn't be "correcting," it would be "Anglicizing" (which you no doubt want spelled with an s). In America, "different to" is wrong.

Call me an idiot but wouldn't it be "different from"?

I came on here to type this very thing. I'll add: I know, right? I don't like it generally, and I especially don't like it when women over 35 use it. It just sounds as thought they're trying too hard to be cute... and 10 years younger.

STFU. What do you even mean? That is insane. You don't like the word, whatever. But you're a self -hating woman to say such a thing. You really think a woman uses a particular word to seem younger? Sad. If you're a guy, you sound like a misogynistic asshole.

If you are over about 25 and you say "I know, right?"....you're an idiot. I'm sorry but grown ups do not use stupid high-school phrases like "I know, right"...."whatever"...."fo-shizzle"....."duh"....."OMG"......''totally"....."that's sick"......

Grow up and speak like a big girl. Unless of course, you are 12. Then by all means, use all the dumb phrases you would like.

OMG. U should totally take the stick outta yer butt. Fo' Shizzle ma bizzle.

I know, right?

For realz.

"C'mon ma," and "what's going on Boss?" My husband uses those phrases and it drives me insane, slang or no. Also,
"I axed him," instead of "asked,"
"There he go right there,"
"Naw mean?" instead of, "know what I mean?"
"Can I see those scissors for a minute?" instead of, "can I use those scissors for a minute?" I'm not from the U.S., and the first time a co-worker asked me this, I literally (apologies to all the 'literally' haters, but it fits,) thought she wanted to take a look at the scissors. So, I held them out to show her, until she reached out and took them from my hand. Must've thought I was a bit 'off.'

Depends. "Migraines are different from tension headaches."

But "I am a different person than I was in high school. (Thank God.)"

I also hate the notion that Britain has cornered the market on correct grammar. So I hate phrases, such as "even in America," that suggest it has.

The Apple slogan, "Think different."

Well what do you mean, Apple? Do you mean that I should think differently than other people think? If that's so, you should say "Think differently." Or do you mean that I should think that Apple is different. If so the slogan should be "Think 'different.'"

"Price point". Means exactly the same thing as "price" so it makes people sound so silly.
