Small distinctions with a large practical effect

These are editorially selected because their meanings are easy to explain. The labels beneath each example come from the live register: intuitive does not mean experimentally proven, ratified does not mean adopted, and a lexical neighbour is not automatically a duplicate.

What this page does — and does not — establish

Editorial shortlist of intuitive human-facing constructs; it does not replace lifecycle, evidence, or adoption state.

Editorial intuitiveness is an explicit judgement. No large human-review campaign is claimed or required. Captions describe the semantic distinction. Empirical claims come only from the attached live receipts.

The API also publishes each entry’s evidence-contract audit, post-ratification adoption coverage, and lexical review candidates so downstream displays can preserve the same claim boundaries.
