Introduce these pairs into your daily vocabulary. Once you start using them together you will never use them alone again, I promise!

Arrogant and Ignorant – In general, arrogance implies ignorance, whereas ignorance does not necessarily imply arrogance… and so the symmetry of nature is shattered!

Confound and Confuse – a worthy toast to make on the eve of battle! Or a curse to mutter when looking over the features on a newly purchased mobile phone… they get smaller, but they sure don’t get simpler!

Exactly and Precisely – why use one when you can use both! Hammer your point down clearly; be firm!

Definite and Definitive – particularly fun to describe a difference: “…this diversity is definitely due to the definitive differences deduced by the dedicated and detailed observations of the ducks” (quoted from the well known duck expert who first swallowed a whole egg, of course!).

Completely and Absolutely – use these together to show your agreement/loyalty is not in the least tentative; or use this phrase to strike the ultimate sarcastic blow… it all depends on the tone of your voice.

So, do you see what I mean???
