<p>Although he intially liked vanilla, John now prefers chocolate over vanilla. should it be prefers chocolate TO vanilla?</p>
<p>I think it's redundency, you should just eliminate the "over vanilla" part.</p>
<p>Well pretend the vanilla part wasn't there ( I made this sentence up).
So then you would have John prefers chocolate over vanilla.
Now whats correct?</p>
<p>Also is this sentence right?
Everyone enjoyed the party, including me. or is it including I.</p>
<p>me sounds better</p>
<p>it is "me" not I, because me is the objective case (meaning it is the object of "including")
I is the wrong case to use in this situation (it is subjective)
don't worry if you have no idea what i'm talking about...the answer is "me"</p>
<p>I think it should be </p>
<p>prefer to..</p>
<p>I didnt enjoy the party very much because I had a headache.</p>
<h1>Incorrect She prefers skiing over snowboarding.</h1>
<h1>Correct She prefers skiing to snowboarding.</h1>
<p>-From Sparknotes online.</p>
<p>Thus: prefers chocolate to vanilla</p>
<p>I always thought that it was prefer...over.
Like:
I prefer eggs over live chickens.
it sounds more correct.</p>
<p>ALways use: Prefer x to y.</p>
<p>but over sounds better than to.</p>
<p>Who cares? It's wrong.</p>
<p>not according to everyone I've asked.</p>
<p>The correct construction is "prefer A to B", not "over". Over implies direction or height, neither of which apply.</p>
<p>It is "prefer(s) A to B." Idiomatic English is like that.</p>
