irish what you drinking? wouldn't thank you for one tbh, gone right off the booze lately, i'd rather sit in the house with her and have a bottle of wine if i was gonna partake lol.

ffs yorkie all the shit you could have pulled him on and you choose a word that he spelled correctly! i actually think that particular use was acceptable, even though you are probably right in the fact that he meant to use enlightening. to illuminate means cast light on and to cast light on something that you never knew anything about is enlightening

'illuminate' means to cast light and 'enlighten' means to cast knowledge, you can't cast light on knowledge because it is n't tangible but a smile can illuminate a face for example.

To interchange the two is a very lazy use of English.

Appropriate synonyms don't usually bother me, except that one. It really pisses me off because it's so obvious but folk still use it to come across as having a vocabulary but don't realise how ignorant it makes them look when they do.

A quite funny explanation is.......

'Illuminate' is when somebody shines a torch in your ear.
'Enlighten' is when you're the torch.

The word is 'enlightening', if you're going to pretend you're educated and have a vocabulary then for fucks sake use appropriate synonyms.

Or better yet, don't bother trying to slip big words into conversation if you don't know how to use them correctly.
No. Enlightened would infer that i had learned a greater knowledge, i had not, i simply learned something i did not know before. So i was enlightened. Neither of which are very big words, like say monoflourophosphate. i study supersymmetry and have followed ITER for 5 years, I read moby dick when i was 17 etc
