     You have only to ask them what preposition does 
     the verb 'to differ' take - then watch them squirm 
     as they explain how illogical English is anyway, how 
     free they all are from an elitist desire for consistency 
     etc., etc., etc.

Nah, nah, I wouldn't respond that way.  But I do see a difference between 
street language (how most people really speak) and Standard Written English.
