I am looking for a distinction between those pairs:
1. document vs equipment
2. Type vs kind
3. committee vs commission vs council vs agent vs agency
( Aboved are the very tricky ones. Actually I worked on to figure out what's the diff between those terms but I failed. )
If somebody guys know the answer, please explain it for me.
Thanks and best regards^^

Hi,
you can find the differences between these words anywhere on the Internet in any online dictionary. I honestly fail to see why you coulnd't distinguish between the meanings of the words if you would just look them up. Furthermore, the terms 'document' and 'equipment' aren't even closely related, they are completely different words.
I have previously composed a post on the difference between 'type' and 'kind' and 'sort', it should be in this section of the forum somewhere. Or just click on my screenname.
