- burkaman 9y agoI don't want to get into an argument about definitions or semantics. Those phrases are different, but they come across similarly to me and many others, at least in this context. That's really all that matters in a casual discussion like this. I understand not everyone will have the same reaction. I don't pretend to speak for everyone, but I suspect I speak for the majority.
