anonymous Are over and above interchangeable in the sentences below? "over" and "above" I would use "over" in every case. You do see "above" there, though.

Hi, anonymous

Do you mean they are both interchangeable in those sentences above?

Is there any subtle difference between them here?

Thank you very much.
