"Convince" and "Persuade."

Levels of Distractibility: Who cares? = *. Some people will be distracted from your meaning: = **. Many people will be distracted from your meaning: = ***.

Question: I read somewhere that you have to use the right words with "convince" and "persuade." What are they?

Answer: You convince OF or THAT.... "I am convinced OF his innocence." "I am convinced THAT he is innocent."

You persuade TO: "Persuade him TO join the group."

Note: People interchange "convince" and "persuade." If you can keep OF, THAT and TO in mind , you won't. RayS.

Rating of Distractibility: (**).
