@rebclark , I have always used the terms "elder" and senior" interchangeably, since that is what I've always heard both terms being used for. I suppose it could differ depending on country or region, but even in books, TV, and movies I usually have heard both terms mean the same thing.🤔 So, I'm curious as to what makes them different for you! ? 🧐
It is pretty much the same.
What makes them different to me? Well, a Senior is higher up in age/grade as elder has reached the stage of more respect I guess you would say.
Pre-teen vs. teen, toddler vs. not as wobbly, lol.
It is all pretty close, just a transitional stage of maturing/ageing.
I think of myself as a senior mostly because my husband is an elder, older than me. I'm 69 he's 77. Terms of endearment are also there.
If you're 90 and someone sees you as a senior, then you are look'in good baby, lol.
Thank you for asking. All of you are very nice.
