Tell Me :
Talk
I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .
Let me some time to scan the cover of my vinyl .
It is prefer over: putting my Classics graduate head on, "to prefer" is from the Latin "praeferre" which means literally "To carry in front", or "to bring in front of", or "to prefer". It is governed by the accusative case, so you can state I prefer "Midnight Rambler four flicks over Midnight Rambler Brussels Affair", using prefer in the accusative sense.
If it was "prefer to", it would be "prefer" in the sense of the main verb, but you would have to follow it with an infinitive.
Prefer over is, thus, grammatically correct.
Tomcasagranda, you are my hero.
Thank you; it's great to be here, it's great to be anywhere.

The new Bobby Womack album The Bravest Man in the Universe. I applaud his decision to try a new-ish direction with a new producer, though SOME of the results are a bit jarring. But overall, a really REALLY fine record by one of our greatest ever singers!

It is prefer over: putting my Classics graduate head on, "to prefer" is from the Latin "praeferre" which means literally "To carry in front", or "to bring in front of", or "to prefer". It is governed by the accusative case, so you can state I prefer "Midnight Rambler four flicks over Midnight Rambler Brussels Affair", using prefer in the accusative sense.
If it was "prefer to", it would be "prefer" in the sense of the main verb, but you would have to follow it with an infinitive.
Prefer over is, thus, grammatically correct.
