The newest word that was added to the language to take it one step closer to its millionth mark was 'e-Vampire', a noun describing electric equipment that consumes energy while in standby mode. Darned e-Vironmentalist!

English is different to (???)
most other languages... Wouldn't "different from" be correct form?

You know, with a million words there ought to be a specific word for that particular form of a placename used to describe a person from that place. A “Mexican” is a person from Mexico. A “Canadian” is a person from Canada. Etc. So you are discussing a certain country, say Togo, and you want to know what to call someone from Togo. What word would complete this sentence:
“What is the (blank) for Togo?” meaning
“What is the name for a person from Togo?”
