    Default "Kind", "type" and "sort"

    Can you tell me when should I use these words?
    And give me some examples too!
    Thanks for your help.

    There is usually no real difference in meaning. Have you specific examples when you thought one was better than the others?
    Context is always important; labelling is rarely important.
