Quote:

1.One in every 100 people is said to be living in a country other than the one they were born and raised in.
2.This is quite other than what I think.
3.He is other than honest.
4.He doesn't eat pork, but other than that he'll eat just about anything.

1. Is #1 through #4 correct grammatically?
2. What does "other than that he'll eat just about anything" in #4?

Thanks.

It means pork is pretty much the only thing he won't eat. Aside from pork, he will eat almost anything.
