0406 Notes

Conscience vs. Conscious
Both words have to do with the mind, but it's more important to be conscious, or awake, than conscience, or aware of right and wrong. Remain conscious while listening to your friend's moral dilemma so you can use your conscience to give good advice.

evasive
tending to avoid commitment or self-revelation, especially by responding only indirectly.
"she was evasive about her phone number"
synonyms:equivocal, prevaricating, elusive, ambiguous, noncommittal, vague, inexplicit, unclear


One way or another vs. One way or the other
You use one way or the other or one way or another to refer to two possible decisions or conclusions that have previously been mentioned, without stating which one is reached or preferred.

We've got to make our decision one way or the other.

I didn't really care one way or another.

You can use one way or another or one way or the other when you want to say that something definitely happens, but without giving any details about how it happens. 

You know pretty well everyone here, one way or the other.
