  • Difference between greater and larger - English Language Usage . . .
    Taken literally, "larger" refers to physical size "Greater" refers to value Thus you would say, "An elephant is larger than a mouse" But -- assuming you're talking about size -- you wouldn't say "An elephant is greater than a mouse " If you want to compare quality, you might say, "Rembrandt's paintings are greater art than Picasso's"
  • adjective position - What is the difference of meaning between a . . .
    "A size bigger" is more specific than "A bigger size" If a lady tries on a size 12 dress and finds that it is just a bit too small she might ask an assistant for one "A size bigger", in which case she should be offered the same dress in a size 14 (in the US and UK there are no odd-numbered sizes)
  • Diameter comparison: larger, bigger, higher, greater?
    "larger diameter" 7'420'000 results `"greater diameter" 1'020'000 results "higher diameter" 852'000 results "bigger diameter" 738'000 results; So after this I would go with larger but am not sure why and if this is the correct or best choice Edit: Added also greater as possiblity as per comment Did not think of that
  • word choice - How to denote a larger distance - English Language . . .
    Larger would imply some kind of area or volume; higher implies height or altitude, and bigger is simply too vague, and doesn't sound sufficiently scientific However, all seven alternatives seem to imply that the measuring device #1 is capable of measuring a longer distance than measuring device #2, rather than comparing the two measurements
  • word choice - The larger of A and B or the larger of A or B . . .
    If you say "The larger of A or B" or "The larger of (A or B)" you have only said "The larger of A or the larger of B", which is nonsensical The only way to make this sensible is to indicate that "the larger of" means the larger of BOTH THINGS TAKEN TOGETHER (i e , A and B) Neither A nor B can be "larger" except in relation to the other
  • What is the correct adjective for weight mass of objects, heavy or . . .
    The units of mass or any other qualified noun are irrelevant: a mass of 10 kg is larger than that of 1 kg whether you measure the mass in kg, tonnes, ounces or milligrams And I do say "large rucksack", as is shown in google ngram If the sack is full it may be heavy; if empty it is light –
  • word choice - Qualifying weights. Are they higher, bigger . . .
    BNC COCA greater weight 37 138 heavier weight 11 40 higher weight 3 33 larger weight 0 5 stronger weight 1 2 bigger weight 0 2 So, on both sides of the pond, greater looks like the safest choice, while bigger is a very rare sight indeed
  • adjectives - Is more massive correct? - English Language Usage . . .
    One presumes that larger means 'has greater volume', so you can be precise and compare volume to mass, which puts the comparison clearly without resorting to comparatives with percentages: Titan has 1 5 times the volume of Earth's moon, and 1 8 times its mass –
  • Whats the difference between large share and high share?
    In this normal usage, shares can be bigger larger or smaller Such a share may be said to represent a certain percentage of something (a 50% share is bigger than a 30% share) When talking about housing expenditure share, however, the word takes on a slightly different and more absolute meaning, which is semantically closer to rate or the likes
