I think it is deteriorating.
Two television commercials I’ve seen in the last few months fit in this category.
One is for dental implants: “Dentures are different to real teeth.” (Can’t remember the company, but this line is spoken by an actor playing a dentist, I think.)
One for some type of loan/mortgage/something: “Our loans are different to other loans.” (I think this one is for New Day USA?)
I’m paraphrasing, but pretty close.
I love the English language and other languages. I am sure I make my fair share of typos and mistakes, but once it becomes a national advertisement you’d think mistakes should have been caught and corrected.
One for some type of loan/mortgage/something: Our loans are different to other loans.
“different than” is also wrong, by the way.
