share|improve this question How about an example? –  z7sg Ѫ May
4 '11 at 9:49 For the record, I downvoted this because I am
getting a little tired of these questions. The accepted and top-
voted answer more or less shows the definitions of the two words
and points out that they are different. As in, you should be
able to figure this out from a dictionary. –  MrHen May 4 '11 at
14:48 @MrHen - I agree, but in situations where the asker gives
no context (like this). Perhaps those who have rep should start
voting to close these as "general reference"? –  Neil Fein May 4
'11 at 15:21 @Neil: "General reference" is still relatively new
and this seems to be pushing its boundaries. I feel comfortable
voting down but would want to have a chat before voting to
close. If I saw a few others voting I would probably join in. –
