Hi, ..

Could you please take a look at the following sentences. Two guys, Adam and John, are similar in more regards than they're not:


- "Adam and John actually have more in common than they differ."

- "Adam and John actually have more in common than they are different."

- "Adam and John actually have in common more than their differences are."


My guess is that they probably sound bizarre/unnatural, but are they correct and understandable ..?



Thanks in advance.

Surfer My guess is that they probably sound bizarre/unnatural, but are they correct and understandable ..? They do sound that way, and that makes them incorrect. The two parts are not parallel enough.

They do sound that way, and that makes them incorrect. The two parts are not parallel enough. I might make it "Adam and John actually have more in common than they have differences."
