No, just someone with an opposite view than yours.

mbyron to English translation:

"Do all Fox News fans use, "opposite than", instead of the more correct, "opposite from"?"

(I must credit my ex for this bit of grammatical knowledge. I guess that she eventually got tired of correcting me)

Actually, it should be "opposite OF". Lots of people say, "different than" when it should be "different from". But I've never heard that "opposite from" is ever, ever correct!

btw, Padgett, I say endline mostly, courtesy of Howard, who insists on it.

Can't argue with Howard. Seriously, I am not being sarcastic for a change. I totally respect the guy.

I told you that I was getting way out of my league. I also told you my ex got tired of correcting me. I still can't get it right.
