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 of my favorites is “up to and more,”
as in, “Save up to fifty dollars and more!”

“different than” is also wrong, by the way.
