parallelism and idioms

by Amadalia » Wed Feb 12, 2014 4:01 am
Good day
while I'was reading the idoms chapter in Manhattan sentence correction book, I find out the fellowing idioms about the word difference
Right: There are DIFFERENCES IN what you and I can do.
Wrong: There are DIFFERENCES BETWEEN what you and I can do

I can understand that the last is wrong because "what you" isn't parallel to "I can do"
but why it is correct in the first place?????
Many thanks in advance
