salam1101  +  60582 Fri, 10 Dec 04 03:33 AM Hi ''We haven't seen a movie IN / FOR a long time.'' Does it make any difference in the meaning. Off topic, what do you call a person who gets easily excited but quick to cool down. Thanks in advance. Cheers salam1101 Joined on Mon, Dec 15 2003 Full Member 117 Difference Between

	CalifJim  +  60585 Fri, 10 Dec 04 03:53 AM Hi "in" or "for" - it doesn't matter. There is no discernible difference to me. Personally, I tend to use "in". I don't know of a single word that covers the type of person you describe.

	salam1101  +  60598 Fri, 10 Dec 04 04:20 AM Thanks for the quick response, Jim. What do you think about wishy, washy? I'm not sure if it describes this kind of person. salam1101 Difference Between

	CalifJim  +  60600 Fri, 10 Dec 04 04:35 AM "wishy-washy" doesn't capture the idea of person who gets excited easily. "wishy-washy" is "indecisive", "lacking strong opinions". A hot-head gets excited to anger easily, but this word does not cover the cool-down idea you presented. Also, it wasn't clear to me whether you meant excited to anger or excited in the sense of enthusiastic. I assumed "anger". CalifJim Difference Between
