dont it suck when your own sources discredit your statement?

Hmmm, semantics - note your example: related word provoke - not synonym. Synonyms are interchangeable, related words are not.

i never used the word synonym, i used same difference, learn to read

There you go, insulting people... You can disagree without saying things like "learn to read". Synonym and same difference mean the same thing.... For someone who claims to like debate your reactions to discussion are rather defensive.

there you go insulting me. Is it nap time yet? do we get cookies?

Not insulting, just pointing out the obvious, and thanks for proving my point.
