KIND, SORT, AND TYPE


Very often it makes no difference which of these words we use. But good
dictionaries point out some subtle differences. In fact, sometimes only one
of these words is correct. For example, it would be wrong to use sort or
kind in sentence 1 below.
Compare these three English sentences:
1. What is your blood type?
(Expected answer is a precise named category.)
So

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. What kind of dog is that?
PORTION: Lot, slice,
PROPER: Decent, suitable, appropiate
ALLERGIC:
CELIACO: GLUTEN INTOLERANT, CELIAC (SILIAC)
