Chibi  +  525811 Wed, 11 Jun 08 11:55 AM Is it okay if I write "It is conceded that human beings are mean and greedy"? Or I must write "it is admitted that human beings are mean and greedy"? What is the difference between "concede" and "admit", esp in terms of usage? Plz help me, thank you very much. Chibi Joined on Sun, Dec 30 2007 New Member 47 Difference Between

	Avangi  +  533536 Fri, 27 Jun 08 10:11 PM I think "concede" also carries the meaning of "yield," which suggests there may have been a disagreement, or contest previously. McInroe conceded the match.
