Although I'm a great defender of the 'correct' way of spelling and grammar, I'm also aware that language develops. Lots of new words like 'google' as a verb.....dunno

There are no rules to the English language, but a sensible one would be to focus more on ensuring what you mean can be understood, and less on the supposed rules.

Do you just mean that you're supposed to say "A is the same as B" rather than "A is the same to B" or "A is the same banana B" or whatever?
