      Is a special advantage synonymous with a right? Sounds like it’s only a synonym in certain contexts, which is probably why it’s a bad word to use.

      Like that famous quote about how people interpret respect and it’s used differently in the same sentence. Give me a sec to find it.

      Ok, famous is maybe a bit generous as it looks like it’s from Tumblr
