Difference between string and thread
Is there a difference?
Would I be right to assume that string is always thicker and stronger than thread?
Thanks.

I would think the difference is
String is used for tying or the term for a loose fragment ?from a bundle?.
Thread is used for sewing or weaving-
?from a spool?
sorry if it doesn't make direct sense- I'm not any textile guru

Hang around here and you'll see the thickest threads on Usenet. But no - string is often thicker and stronger than thread, but not always.

"Thread" and "string" relate to intended use. String is used for tying things up or together. Thread is used for sewing.

Probably.
And then there are the people who refer to threads in newsgroup or mailing list discussions as "strings", which to my mind are vairiables that contain alphanumeric characters. There are, however, other meanings of threads, which I don't understand, such as those se
