if there was one, I think he'd have a pretty cool story.

“It is always sad when someone leaves home, unless they are simply going around the corner and will return in a few minutes with ice cream sandwiches.” - Lemony Snicket
According to Oxford Languages, the definition of "strange" is "unusual or surprising in a way that is unsettling or hard to understand." or "not previously visited, seen, or encountered; unfamiliar or alien." The definition of "weird" is "suggesting something supernatural; uncanny." But however, this is the defition for the adjective. The word "strange" can only be used as an adjective, wheras the word "weird" can be an adjective, noun, or verb. The definitions of the two words also show that the word "weird" is supposed to describe something that is supernatural, while "strange" is meant to decribe something unusual or unfarmiliar. Another difference is that the word "weird" is slightly more informal than "strange." Can you imagine someone from medival times saying, "That is so weird," ?
Would you rather use the word "strange" or "weird"?
