Language is heavily influenced by subjective construction. The closest we come to objective certainty is by studying the etymology of the word in question. The root then becomes the standard. I agree that impertative "seems" the stronger of the word, so HK communicated his point successfully. So in that sense they are purposefully not used as synonyms! That is why I always say that whoever scripts a culture's vernacular, controls the culture! Words are containers for POWER! I shudder when young people promise a simile every second sentence...then not deliver. "I'm like totally....!"

I appreciate HK developing a "standard" of expression relating to the golf stroke. Twenty versions to describe the same concept it too much for the simple likes of me! Give me accumulators etc. any old day!
