Synonyms and context clues exist, you know.
- chrisweekly 7y ago(replying on behalf of gp) Of course such clues exist; it's unlikely s/he was personally confused. Which has zero bearing on the quality of the title. The fact that it _requires_ parsing and reliance on clues indicates poor word choice. Synonyms abound, and better ones would have made for a much better title.

- dvtrn 7y agoNothing unless, as I said in another comment one is either just not a native English speaker or is deliberately trying to misconstrue the words used in a vacuum of context. But I fear we’re quibbling the point now and getting pretty far off topic. So I’ll desist.
