plead vs appeal

0If you 01b00plead02b00 your case at the gate, while you're coughing and wheezing and 01b00bleeding out the eyes02b00, your airline might see things your way. Gate agents screen passengers to make sure they're airworthy, and can disqualify them for anything from smelling bad to being too drunk. You remember the TV show "Airline"? Well, if you're too sick and a gate agent makes that determination, chances are you'll be put on a future flight without having to pay extra. It might be worth the trip to the airport.02br

0No, you can't use appeal your case. 02br 02br 00Bleeding out the eyes - yuk! I can't think of any illness that makes you do this?

  • 0No, you can't use appeal your case.
  • 02br 02br 00Bleeding out the eyes - yuk!
  • I can't think of any illness that makes you do this?
  • Well, if it's not an error, then your version is grammatical and the original isn't.
  • As the other two things 'coughing' and 'wheezing' seem to relate to minor illnesses and perhaps specifically to a cold or flu, could this be an error and they mean 'your eyes are watering'?

0Nona, thanks for your reply. Could you help me understand their differences like when to use which? As far as I know, they carry the same meaning though I'm not certain about the usage which according to you is different.0-
