Hi!
When reading an article, I found some sentence which makes me curious about meaning of adjectives.
ex) Boundaries of categories have become fuzzy and blurred.
I looked up English-Korean dictionary. It seems that they have the same meaning. So I wonder that they can have different uses depending on contexts even though they are synonymous or they can be used interchangeably. If the latter is correct, I think in the example above, the use of adjectives is redundant. (Probably, the writer can use both adjectives meaning the same thing in order to emphasize his argument even if it is redundant.)
Can you please explain what I'm confused about in adjective use?:-D
Thanks millons in advance
