Hello, I'd like to compare and contrast the adverbs above. I associate "instantly" with "in a blink of an eye". However, would there be any significant difference between them in: - He did not immediately/instantly realize how serious the situation was.
Instantly's probably stronger, but how much stronger?
Thank you.
