Kenta  +  567481 Thu, 18 Sep 08 09:47 AM Hello. I'd like to know the difference among these expressions (though maybe there's a slight difference). I'm different from you. I'm not the same as you. I'm not like you. Would you tell me the difference? For example, which is polite, casual, and so on.                                                        Thank you!
