apples to/and oranges

0 Hi,02br
00I would say the prepositions that go with "compare" are "to" and "with". I think "and" is not really precise and very likely to be ambiguous, and therefore probably not what you are looking for. But you'd better wait for the native speakers. 050010id5

0 Both are common as mud. 01i00to02i00 is technically "more correct", I suppose.02br

0Ah. See? I didn't know that... It's the same as in my language then. 050010id1

0 It's such a common phrase, when someone wants to evoke the concept in a logical argument he often simply says, "That's apples and oranges." - A. 0-

0 Hi Avangi,02br

00Here you are not talking. You are comparing. Therefore, I think that the right word is "to". 0-

0 Hi, NJ. I haven't checked the rule books, but I've noticed people are saying "to" is required, or "01i01u00comparing02u02i00 takes 01b01i00to02i02b00," or words to that effect. Going strictly by experience (which surely has its limitations) I sense that "comparing A to B" ranks "B" as primary and "A" as secondary. T

0 Even I have not checked the rule books. But as far as my knowledge suggests that it is always better to use "to". 0-

10 Why do you consider "01i00even02i00" necessary in your response?0-
