thanks all Very Happy
And i will take more attention about the "cast"

And today i have met two groups of words together which both have made me confusedz:
Quote:
Infiltrate and Penetrate

Quote:
Austere and Frugal


Are they synonymous?
How to use them under the certain circumstances?

thanks to our Education-Hero again Very Happy JB

General Krauthammer of the 4th Panzers' austere demeanor was consistent with his frugal use of his tanks

Seems "filtrate" is for some small squads or spies who just want to get in a certain place without any notice. "panatrate" is for something like getting though the frontline and breaking it down.
