What two things do people often confuse for being synonymous?

1. Allow and approve.
   — Back2Bach


2. Ignorance and stupidity
   — halfassedanalysis


3. Understanding and justifying. Just because I understand where some shitty behaviour stems from doesn't mean I think it's ok or that I'm encouraging it.

4. Pony and Foal. Foal is a baby horse, Pony is a small breed of horse.

5. Apathetic and ambivalent. Ambivalent means you have mixed feelings about something, not that you don't care.

6. Empathy and sympathy

7. Anti-social and asocial. If you're cooped up in your room playing vidya all day without any human contact, that's being asocial. If you have no regard for societal norms and laws and violate them at your will, e.g. a sociopath, then you're anti-social.

8. Bad and overrated. If I say X is overrated I don't mean it is bad. If everyone says X thing is a 10/10 and I think it is only a 9/10, then I'm saying it is overrated, but still pretty good

9. Political ideologies (liberalism/conservatism) with political parties (Democrat/Republican).
