Hi, everyone
I'd like to ask someone who speaks English as their first language.
1. New York is bigger than any city in Europe.
2. New York is bigger than any city in the U.S.
I understand #1 is correct, but what about #2?
My grammar textbook says since N.Y is a city in America, #2 is logically wrong and #3 is correct.
3. New York is bigger than any other city in the U.S.
Do we have to be so strict about this kind of thing in Eglish?
Thank you
