Answer from Râchel C.:
DIFFERENT FROM. "Different" can be replaced with the synonyms "dissimilar", "differing", and "distinct", all of which would be followed by "from". "Than" would be used to join an adjective in comparative form: when comparing one to another; e.g. "He is colder THAN her." or "They are weirder THAN the others."

Hi Gérard !
First I had to look up the word "Procastination" in the dictionary  and then I wondered what was the relation with yesterday. In fact it means that somebody always puts back his action and can't be in the present. Am I right ?

Hi Muriel,

> I had to look up the word "Procastination" in the dictionary
It is "procrastination"
We met this word a couple of weeks ago in a picture which was roughly saying Grammarly wanted the "pro" before "crastination"...

"Procrastination" comes after a French word that is still often used in French business language as many people tend to postpone problem résolutions (because they continuously have to play with their schedule).
When in French, we only have the word "procrastination", in English there are the 3: "procrastination", "to procrastinate" & "procrastinator".

like me Google is your best friend.

I'm afraid it's not clearer at all as Elizabeth is speaking, not Amanda.
