gruesome and grisly...
Hello there,
Here's a sentence from a MA thesis:
[...] only to swing again towards the gruesome and grisly [...]
I'm wondering... why does the author writes two words meaning basically the same thing (i.e. macabric) one after another... ? or maybe they do have different meaning?
Thx in advance
