What is the difference?
- 1Consistency: Oozing implies a thicker and more viscous substance, while flowing implies a smoother and more fluid substance.
- 2Speed: Oozing is slower and more gradual, while flowing can be faster and more continuous.
- 3Direction: Oozing often implies a random or uncontrolled direction, while flowing implies a more deliberate and directed movement.
- 4Volume: Flowing often implies a larger volume of substance, while oozing can refer to a smaller and more contained amount.
- 5Connotation: Oozing can have negative connotations, such as infection or decay, while flowing can have positive connotations, such as beauty or harmony.
Remember this!
Oozing and flowing are both words that describe the movement of a substance. However, oozing typically refers to a slow and steady release of a thick and viscous substance, often through a small opening or crack. On the other hand, flowing typically refers to a smooth and continuous movement of a more fluid substance, often in a natural or organic way.
