Why do I give my pets “food” but my livestock “feed”? Feed is called feed because you use it for feeding. |

“Fluctuates widely” or “fluctuates wildly” @DavidSchwartz: Your comment should be the answer imo, as it is the most significant difference. |

Difference between “smart” and “clever” If a mechanism is clever, that means it's an ingenious design. If a mechanism is smart, that means the mechanism itself applies some kind of reasoning to the problem it is designed to solve. |

Change of meaning by replacing “into” with “in” 'The characters are then read in the buffer' makes no sense to me. I would interpret that as intending 'into' but making a grammar error. How could you take this to mean 'the characters are then read from the buffer'? |

“Username”, “user name” or “user-name” @Konrad: To be fair the core .NET Framework is pretty consistent. |

“Username”, “user name” or “user-name” @KonradRudolph: Searching the MSDN documentation for 'username' and 'filename' refutes your statement. Most common is UserName and FileName, indicating that the terms the .NET folks consider standard are 'user name' and 'file name'. |
