These are sometimes interchangeable, but when you are stressing similarities between the items compared, the most common word is “to”: “She compared his home-made wine to toxic waste.”
If you are examining both similarities and differences, use “with”: “The teacher compared Steve’s exam with Robert’s to see whether they had cheated.”

"About Me
I have a good chance to get a formal English education in an academy of foreign language in Jakarta. This blog is dedicated for information sharing among us. Mainly for the common mistake we frequently make in our daily activity. Stay tunned... "
See what? you should say "stay tuned" rather than "stay tunned". Anyway, love your sharing about common mistakes in English.
