'illuminate' means to cast light and 'enlighten' means to cast knowledge, you can't cast light on knowledge because it is n't tangible but a smile can illuminate a face for example.

To interchange the two is a very lazy use of English.

Appropriate synonyms don't usually bother me, except that one. It really pisses me off because it's so obvious but folk still use it to come across as having a vocabulary but don't realise how ignorant it makes them look when they do.

A quite funny explanation is.......

'Illuminate' is when somebody shines a torch in your ear.
'Enlighten' is when your the torch.

I think you are disregarding the use of synonyms to use a word in a different context than that which it is described as, ergo enlightenened can mean to educate rather than shine an actual beam of photons.

 

[ghb]

it's relax who needs a word, i may as well have you on ignore cause i can't get an idea of what you're saying at the minute with that little phone lad haha

and you'RE the torch surely yorkie?

'Enlighten' is when your the torch.

But supersymetry is bollox tho, just a fudge to explain the faults in the standard model, dyt? lol

 

[zeddd]

didn't know a thing about it til jus now

nah mate illuminating is acceptable lol and if it is a synonymn then by definition it is ok...lol

Your poor standards might think it's acceptable.

Illuminate is a synonym for casting light, it is not a synonym for casting knowledge so no it's not OK.

irish what you drinking? wouldn't thank you for one tbh, gone right off the booze lately, i'd rather sit in the house with her and have a bottle of wine if i was gonna partake lol.

ffs yorkie all the shit you could have pulled him on and you choose a word that he spelled correctly! i actually think that particular use was acceptable, even though you are probably right in the fact that he meant to use enlightening. to illuminate means cast light on and to cast light on something that you never knew anything about is enlightening

Hes a noob yorkie is doing ehat we akll should be doing lol i just couldnt let metadata slip like that

 

[R3l@X]
