    Default Re: respect vs aspect

    Oxford says:
    respect
    3[C] a particular aspect or detail of sth:
    In this respect we are very fortunate. Ç There was one respect, however, in which they differed.

    aspect

    [C] a particular part or feature of a situation, an idea, a problem, etc.; a way in which it may be considered:
    The book aims to cover all aspects of city life. Ç the most important aspect of the debate Ç She felt she had looked at the problem from every aspect. Ç This was one aspect of her character he hadn’t seen before.

    So here lies a problem. Aspect is a countable noun, and respect is also a count. noun, too. But what the difference in these meaning lying above?

    Ok.

    Respect is a reference to a particular thing or situation:

    In one respect, it is not hard to understand.



    Aspect = one particular feature that may be regarded:

    One aspect of the situation is that we have not failed.
