Hello
I have a question about words "Senior" and "Junior".
"Senior" is using about a father and "Junior" about a son.
But, can I use the phrases "the elder" and "the younger" instead?
And, if I've got it right, the phrases "the elder" and "the younger" may not only relate to a father and a son, but also can describe more relationships, such as two brothers or sisters.
And another question. Do I have to capitalise "the elder", "the younger"?
Hope you help me.
Regards.
