People do often think that 'lesion' means a wound with broken skin and blood, but it refers to any changes in/to the appearance of the skin or changes to/on the surface of the skin, whether 2- or 3- dimensional. I notice that 'lesion' is mentioned as the second synonym. The Quora man isn't talking about what I call a wound.
Bonjour tout le monde, I'm looking for as many synonyms for 'il y a' as I can. In terms of context, I'm talking about 'there is/are' in a literal sense, i.e. 'there is a car on the roadside', 'there's plenty to do in the town centre', etc. Thanks in advance :)
But clearing out the dishes, as a synonym for clearing the table of dirty plates, dishes, cutlery, etc., is never used here, in my experience. My mind's eye pictures a group of caterers preparing to switch courses. e.g. "In 30 minutes we need to clear out the dinner dishes and start serving desert."
In that sense, teamwork is more like a synonym for cooperation. "With teamwork we can get this done." "By cooperating with each other, we can get this done." Team work can be a synonym specifically for "working on a team". "This project is not suitable for team work, it's more of an individual project."
I'm looking for a synonym of "breeding ground" in the following sense: "A place or set of circumstances that encourages the development of certain ideas or conditions." Source: The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition copyright ©2000 by Houghton Mifflin...
I've heard coordinates as a synonym for address or location, e.g. --"Come over to my house" --"What are your coordinates?" I can't say that it's common, and it probably stems originally from military usage (and nowadays, GPS). However, I've never seen "coordinates" as a synonym for a person's name, phone number, email address, etc.--what would be considered "contact information."
