I used to say “thing1 and thing2 are different”, in this case, i am not wrong. I did it when there was some doubt in using “different from” or “different than”. Now all is clear with your post.
Thanks a lot

I think different from would be more accurate as we are not comparing two things so as to bring out the superiority of one over the other, rather we are trying to bring out the difference. “He is different from the rest of his family members.”
Good post!

Looks like my English teacher was great!

I have habit of using “different from” and always use it. However, this article has cleared it all.
