Idioms for 'clearly different' - posted by Carerra
Hello, everyone!
I am an English learner and I am new here. May I ask you a question?
Which idiom can we use when we want to express "clearly different", "black and white" or "red and blue"? Or some other phrases?
I need your help. Thanks you very much!

Hi JTT, Good idea to encourage that practice, but better to simply add to his/her thread because a new member will not necessarily know to look for a new thread, even with his/her/their name on it, and you'll have wasted your comment. )
