Vocabulary
Appearance vs. personality
Good afternoon.
I'm a bit confused. In a book (1) I find 'What does she look like?' associated with physical appearance and 'What's she like' for aspects of personality (nice, strict, etc.); in another source (2) I see 'What's she like?' used to ask about one's appearance and 'Tell me about her' to talk about one's character.
What's your opinion about it?
Thank you.
