The comment:
These two words have confused me for a long time since last semester i saw it in the newsweek. Today the confusion have been solved since there are some examples in the dictionary of Cambridge Dictionary online. The examples help me know how the word is used and remember the way to use it. It's quite helpful for a beginning learner. Also, the definition they give is quite easy to catch on. You won't see some new vocabularies when you are trying to understand the meaning. There are some dictionary that uses hard word to explain the word,I always get confused by those new words they just use. Of course, if I have got confused with the words they are explainning to me how can I understand the word they are trying to explain?
I think the dictionary is useful in the personal language learning. They are your teacher to tell you the mistakes you have made. I should start to use it and be friend with it.
