It's up to askers to show research effort in their questions. Please see How to Ask, which I'll quote here: "Sharing your research helps everyone. Tell us what you found and why it didn’t meet your needs. This demonstrates that you’ve taken the time to try to help yourself, it saves us from reiterating obvious answers, and most of all it helps you get a more specific and relevant answer!" | |

It's just that you didn't, for example, give sample situations in which the meanings are close or ambiguous, or otherwise indicate exactly where you are having troubles. I think these words are all quite distinct in meaning so in order for you to get the best answer possible you should be as specific as possible in terms of where you're having trouble. | |
| May 31, 2013 at 0:34 | comment | added | bright-star | Yes. Why the presumption that I wouldn't? I'm asking here because I want to hear a human perspective that is based on current use, not some dodgy dictionary entry. Furthermore, if you read the question carefully, you should see that I am looking for a kind of answer that does not appear in regular dictionaries. Shall I tighten the question down to only two or three words? | |
