Kinds versus Types

Thank you for referral, Akshaya. If we look in the lexicography, words are constructed with the deep inner meanings. Example, GOD and Dog We don't need an explanation of meaning of GOD. Look in to Dog, This is the only animal on the earth loves you like god, Even a man's wife and children might abandon him but a dog will never leave him even if he starve them. For the conveniance of usage many words are used in common.    

I am in total agreement with Akshay on this. I have already posted my coment some time back on the all most same subject.

A good point to clarify, Akshaya....

Kind and Type have subtle distinctions.... Type - a number of things or persons sharing a particular characteristic, or set of characteristics, that causes them to be regarded as a group, more or less precisely defined or designated; class; category: a criminal of the most vicious type. Type is also used often with specific meaning in various other fields - Printing, Biology (blood type), Logic, Linguistics, Agriculture, etc. and as a verb/noun. Kind - 1. a class or group of individual objects, people, animals, etc., of the same nature or character, or classified together because they have traits in common; category: Our cat is the same kind as theirs. Kind is also used as an adjective/noun and in idiomatic expressions. Historically, kind had only one form - kind. Subsequently, kind also added kinds. Thus, we have - this kind of and these kinds of which are now the preferred forms of usage....Thus, depending on the context, the appropriate word needs to be used.....

Both the words are used very oftenly as synonyms... but basic difference is

KINDs represents the attribute of a thing whereas

TYPE is used for classification of a thing which may be based on process, technology, attributes, application areas etc. In brief TYPE is a vague word.
