Teacher Re: "Cancel" and "postpone" The words have different meanings. Check the meanings here: OneLook: General dictionary sites
Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.

Threadstarter / Original Poster Re: "Cancel" and "postpone" Oh, sorry. I want to ask about the word "Delay" and "Postpone", not"Cancel"
Can you tell me the differences?
I'm terribly sorry for the mistake!
