My apology, as you can see my tendency to be pedantic,
but if what you see still looks to be completely semantic,
consider looking where another difference might be found -
Looky here, I mean hear, I mean with both sight and sound.
The differences are compounded when considered as syntactic,
not to mention the most obvious: as a matter of pragmatics.

Of course, that may "sound" idiotic,
but sound works well with semiotics.


_A Love Poem_

Love is
perceived
by the
faithful,
and known
to be
faithless.
Love kills
softly
with words.
