lazy, huh?

Thank you very much!

You need to scratch your head to see a difference between the two, in common speech no-one cares; it's a 'sort of', 6 of one and half a dozen of the other 'kind of' thing, know what I mean? (joking joking) - in lazy speech 'sort of' and 'kind of' are very common, much like ummm and ahhhhh...

- ‘type‘ usually means a precisely defined category. - ‘sort‘ is more general, often about character rather than definition and can be used in a negative way e.g. What sort of person would do a terrible thing like that? - ‘kind‘ is about half way between, usually referring to large categories or families of things that are naturally related.
