Someone/somebody
Is there any difference between the words "someone" and "somebody" ("anyone" and "anybody")?
I wonder if they are synonyms.

Yes, they have the same meaning. You can say: There is somebody/someone waiting for you at the snack-bar. Does anybody/ anyone here speak English?

I see.
As far as I understand I should also use anybody/anyone in the sentences like this:
"There is not anybody/anyone waiting for me at the snack-bar".
Thank you very much!

Maybe you are right. But I guess it is not so important. The meaning is absolutely the same, isn't it?
