For shame, Maverick, you make themilum wrinkle his smoothe brain. Oh well...

Look. If an Englishman or Englishmaid uses "different to" in a conversation, they, by logical necessity, omit
"when compared".

Sure, this omission is perfectly acceptable if that is a convention of your own particular offshoot of the English language, but remember, if you choose to use quaint phrasing when you speak, then you must be aware that your proviencialism might be thought odd by the vanguards of our language today.
That is, we who contribute to the vast files of Google.

And notice, if you will, the connectors "than" and "from" are lingually self-sufficient as directors, and require no such secret omissions or implied additions.

How nice, how American.
