Many words are similar or mean the same thing in everyday usage, but do not always fit equally well in every context. The digital word list helps to decide which word best fits a given context.

Some terms suggest a similar outcome but create different expectations — for example “Delete” and “Deactivate”. “Deactivate” often implies a future restoration, while “Delete” is permanent.

Other terms are synonyms that are practically interchangeable in meaning — for example “Submit” and “Send”. In these cases, we specify a recommended term in order to achieve consistency across different applications.
