Description

This is a very common error made by English learners:

  • "the different between" or "the differents between" instead of "the difference between"

How Has This Been Tested?

I made two unit tests from search results in GitHub. One for the singular and one for the plural.

I was surprised to find the plural seemed more common. I suppose it sounds more similar to the correct word.
