Simple, homely (homey), homelike, plain imply absence of adornment or embellishment. Something that is simple is not elaborate or complex: a simple kind of dress. In the United States, homely usually suggests absence of natural beauty: an unattractive person almost homely enough to be called ugly. In England, the word suggests a wholesome simplicity without artificial refinement or elegance; since it characterizes that which is comfortable and attractive, it is equivalent to homey: a homely cottage. Homelike also emphasizes comfort and attractiveness, but it conveys less strongly than does homey a sense of intimate security: a homelike interior, arrangement, atmosphere. Something that is plain has little or no adornment: expensive but plain clothing.<br /><br />Dictionary.com Unabridged<br />Based on the Random House Dictionary, © Random House, Inc. 2009.KIMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12545570883965939034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9152252445577674991.post-49847932936681520722010-01-10T00:28:17.965+11:002010-01-10T00:28:17.965+11:00Really?
