00I've heard the most troublesome words in English are the small words not the big ones. As you mentioned a short word such as 'make' can have quite different meanings. 02br
02br
00The definition about 'to form' -- to make something begin to exist. If this is true, then 'to form' and 'to produce/create/generate' have the same meaning.
