Thank Wes I think at least the half of English words could be ambiguous can convey more than one meaning thses meanings may be related or unrelated but in most cases a specific connotation takes the domination of using the item.

Hi, Wes, you've chosen interesting words for C2, which they are very easy for us, Portuguese and Spanish natives to absorb. We have similar words in Portuguese, for example: dubious (dúbio) , coherent (coerente) questionable (questionável), etc. Once It happened that an American said to me that I was used to speaking a kind of academic words in English and I thought it was funny to hear it since they are routine words we use in Portuguese.
