Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

defining is when you decide or declare that a certain string of words is equivalent to a word.

distinguishing is when you decide or declare which of two categories a particular thing is in

I know the definition of these words. I’m asking you distinguish, as you read comments on the internet, which are which kind?
