These are used in negative statements. For example, the following are okay and mean the same thing:


"I would rather you didn't call me anymore."


"I would prefer you didn't call me anymore."


"I would rather you address me as Ms. Smith instead of Miss Smith."


"I would prefer you address me as Ms. Smith instead of Miss Smith."
