Nice work Sherlock. Except I must say as a counter example that I am British and I flip-flop between using 'from' and not using 'from' in such sentences.

You might, but I've yet to read American writing that leaves out the 'from'. It certainly wouldn't ever occur to me to do that.

As an American who often adopts idioms and sentence structures from various things he reads, I will say (for me at least) that it depends entirely on how much, and what, you read :)
