Bill Bryson Quote
Different. Often used unnecessarily. ‘He plays milkmaid to more than 50 different species of poisonous snake’ (Observer); ‘The phenomenally successful Rubik Cube, which has 43,252,002,274,489,856,000 different permutations but only one solution’ (Sunday Times); ‘[He] published at least five different books on grammar’ (Simon, Paradigms Lost). Frequently, as in each of these examples, it can be deleted without loss.
