Diffen Link

I’m not sure how but I stumbled across Diffen.com. It simply compares explanations or descriptions of two things. Some comparisons are quite extensive, like Sympathy vs. Empathy, Ethnicity vs. Race, or e.g. vs. i.e.1 Other comparisons are less than complete. But, I really like how it starts to tackle comparisons between complex topics, such as the Clinton vs. Trump tax plans. The Grammar section was quite enjoyable. ↩︎

Sofa King and Swearing Link

Sofa King. Say it quickly. Now say it quickly when you’re mad. When used judiciously, swear words are the most effective form of emotional communication. Unfortunately, there are few artists working in profanity now. They’re mostly just link-bait bloggers. I mostly just wanted to link to a blog about swearing.

This is a great tip on using a better dictionary. I think I’m in agreement too, the old Webster’s dictionary has more satisfying definitions. It also acts as a translation guide for communicating with the ancients. By way of Smarterbits
