Default Re: correct, true, right

1- Correct & right are pretty much the same. True is used in True/false type questions. Right can also be used for legal and moral questions.
2- Incorrect and wrong are pretty much the same. Untrue is different- it wouldn't be used for questions, but for when facts are being dealt with, and can move into the area of lying.
