Explanations to the words " discount" and " disregard"
I know their meanings and i find they both have a meaning of " ignore" , are there any small differences between this two words? Thank you:)
To me - discount is more 'disbelieve or distrust' whereas disregard is 'believe, but ignore anyway'.
So - I would discount the opinions of religious zealots, but disregard the safety warnings on a tool.
