Faint line
Please tell me what"s the meaning of "faint line" I think it's very very thin line but I don't know if it had to be straight. If a circle has very very thin line, it can be faint line in this meaning?

Perhaps you should use it in a sentence. I'm more familiar with the expression "a fine line," indicating the border between two interpretations. "He has to walk a fine line," meaning, in my opinion, not that the line is difficult to discern once drawn, but that it is difficult to draw , and must be drawn with great care.

- Its faintness, or straightness, or roundness is not in question.

Hi,
The basic meaning of 'a faint line' is a line that is difficult to see, eg perhaps you did not press very hard with your pencil. The shape doesn't matter.
You can also say things like 'This writing is very faint. I can hardly read it'.
