over the moon

any fake business jargon which says "discount school": incentivize; price point (you get the picture). Don't just spell it out for people that you have limited experience in the real business world, jackass.

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.

Another Brit here who struggles with "different than" and "I will bring my child to the dr" when the speaker is not currently at the dr.

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.

The British say "different from" not "different to".

I'm from the Midwest and we say supper. There is nothing wrong with using supper in place of dinner.
