What is the difference between "somebody" and "someone"? Many teachers say that there is no difference. But when I asked the Americans, they said that there is a difference, but they can't explain.

If you mixed the two in conversation, I would guess that nobody would even notice much. There is a slight difference, however. I tend to see 'someone' in more formal writing, while 'somebody' is more informal. It is a tendency, rather than a hard, definite rule.
