Oh, and also, you missed the "a" before "clear cut distinction" - it should be "it makes a clear cut distinction." I bet that can be hard to get used to, especially since your native language is Korean, which doesn't have grammatical articles like "a(n)" or "the".

Q:
Как сказать на Английском (американский вариант)? How to use "distinction"? I'm a bit confused with that word.
A:
Distinction is a lot like difference, you would use distinction like you would difference. I like this explanation from the link below.
"There are of course subtle differences between "distinction" and "difference", but both of those words refer to the actually traits. What you want is a word that speaks to the action of noticing and acting on the traits, specifically telling them apart from each other. You are not talking so much about the distinctives as the act of distinguishing.
"Difference" is a much more generic work just referring to set of attributes that are different between two or more things in a set. "Distinction" is much more specific and often separates ONE item above and beyond the other differences in a set. E.g.:"

Q:
Как сказать на Английском (американский вариант)? How to make a distinction between usually and generally
A:
Usually means whatever is being talked about happens often. When I hear generally, I think of it like statistics and more of a scientific perspective (like if someone collected data on the subject, although people use the word casually too). Both of these words are interchangeable and the feeling they give off is very similar so you don't need to worry about the difference too much.
Other questions about "Distinction"
Q:
what's good!? do you feel some reasonable distinction between "to blame", "to accuse" or "to charge" ? (by the way is there difference between "difference" and "distinction")

Q:
What are some distinctions that tell ‘property’ apart from ‘characteristic’? Google list them as synonyms but I guess there would be a little difference in nuances or anything. Please help me!
Thank you in advance :)
Thank you in advance :)
A:
Characteristic can be used with people and objects while property is used only for objects.
Characteristic usually describes a persons behavior or “character” while property usually describes physical or behavioral aspects of a thing. Property is never used in reference to people/animals.
Ex: This plant has healing properties.
Ex: These chimps seem to have human characteristics
I hope this helps a little😊

Q:
[] What is the distinction in the following three sentences?
No.1) I AM GOING TO HAVE TO (drop out of the club).
No.2) I WILL HAVE TO (drop out of the club).
No.3) I HAVE TO (drop out of the club).
(I mean it is not easy to understand the gaps among 'I am going to I have to; I will have to; and I have".)
No.1) I AM GOING TO HAVE TO (drop out of the club).
No.2) I WILL HAVE TO (drop out of the club).
No.3) I HAVE TO (drop out of the club).
(I mean it is not easy to understand the gaps among 'I am going to I have to; I will have to; and I have".)
A:
Another way of looking at it is if you are telling someone that you are dropping out of the club, then No.3 is a general statement.
No.2 and No.1 increasingly soften the statement. For example if you feel bad about letting someone down then I would use No.1.
This is the same as for example if you wanted someone to leave and wanted to do it politely. Instead of saying "You have to leave", you could say "I am going to have to ask you to leave"

I'm wondering is there even/any a nice distinction between those words? это звучит нормально?

- I'm wondering [if there is] any distinction between those words?

Either of those sentences would sound natural, but 'nice' doesn't sound natural in either sentence.

Either of those sentences would sound natural, but 'nice' doesn't sound natural in either sentence.
