When you reach the top and defeat the last academic boss, they take you into a secret room and finally explain the difference between Aims and Objectives
— Tim Groenland (@groenbot) June 15, 2021
Much like the "traffic AND travel" debate in radio - and, by the way, traffic is a way to travel, so "travel" will suffice - why do we say "aims and objectives" when one or the other would do?
Some argue an aim is just the intention whereas an objective is more detailed in terms of how you’ll achieve what may be referred to as an aim - but the Oxford Dictionary definition of an objective is just "a thing aimed at or sought; a goal"... so, err, an aim then.
"Terms & Conditions" (or the irritating "Ts & Cs") is another one. There’s no legal difference between the two.
In fact, the definition of term in this context actually begins with the word conditions: "conditions under which an action may be undertaken or agreement reached; stipulated or agreed requirements."
