Remember this!
Pluggable and interchangeable are both words that describe features that allow for flexibility and customization. However, pluggable emphasizes the ease of connecting or disconnecting a component, often in the context of technology or software, while interchangeable emphasizes the ability to replace or substitute a component without affecting the function of the whole, often in the context of physical objects. Pluggable implies compatibility with specific connectors or interfaces, while interchangeable implies compatibility with identical parts.
