make do with x settle for Are there any slight differences between:
- We'll have to make do with a coffee
- We'll have to settle for a coffee?
Which is more commonly used?
Thanks

Re: make do with x settle for "make do" would imply that you are accepting an alternative to something
"settle for" would imply that you will be satisfied with something.
