There are English words that are used ALMOST synonymous like "nude" and "naked"
A person with no clothes on is both nude and naked.

The different comes in when you are talking about furniture. You can't have nude furniture, but you can have naked furniture.


So I ask of you,

What is the subtle difference between these two words LAWFUL and LEGAL?

How about "could care less" and "could not care less." A lot of people get that shit mixed up.

For instance, I could care less about this asinine subject vs. I could not care less about this asinine subject.

I "could care less" leaves the implication that you are capable of caring less than you already do. I "could not care less" means you are the bottom of caring, much like my feelings about this thread.

regardless and irregardless.

the former being "without regard" to something, the latter making no sense and basically being a double negative.

'nude' and 'naked' are used pretty much interchangeably in everyday conversation.

however, in the realm of the arts, there is a difference.

'nudity' implies that the individual is portrayed as unaware that they are being seen - such as referring to nudity in film, or a painting of a woman bathing nude. that's why the word is much more commonly used when discussing the arts - the subject matter is almost always an unwitting participant.

really splitting hairs, but a 'fun fact' nonetheless.

I'm genuinely asking what the difference between LAWFUL and LEGAL is.

^^in my eyes, they are synonyms, but i'm sure there is some tiny distinction in a thousand-page book of law somewhere.

“Legal” looks more to the letter [form/appearance], and “Lawful” to the spirit [substance/content], of the law.






Lawful matters are ethically enjoined in the law of the land—the law of the people—and are actual in nature, not implied. This is why whatever true law was upheld by the organic Constitution has no bearing or authority in the present day legal courts. It is impossible for anyone in “authority” today to access, or even take cognizance of, true law since “authority” is the “law of necessity,” 12 USC 95.

INCORRECT

Nude means unclothed.

Naked means exposed.
