Yes, use rather than.
How do these two examples fit more well for a native English speaker?
Why did he prefer acting rather than comedy?
Can you come over on Friday?
I would use the letter ‘X’
rather than ‘Y’ in my own work. I
would choose the word ‘X’ that I would choose (see phpt)
In my own work I would use
this & I would decide that I would use
X rather than Y. In general, I would use rather
than or in preference to instead of over. My reaction is to use the word over. If I am on a list of over words or to use a word over many times, the risk of repetition is too great/..
What are examples of using over in the same sentence?
How do I get information on e-commerce online and offline?

Asked on March 14, 2021 in Word choice.
I look at English as a fluent speaker dandy the details. One part of the problem is that it feels brusque, treating the user as someone to be controlled. Another issue is that Check is a little ambiguous
The system wants to check that it should perform the action
or
Please does the user verify that the action to be performed is correct
Are you limited to a single word where check appears? Why are some action cancellations like “Action XYZ
will be taken Please confirm”
and “Do
not cancel”? Notice the
separation of the proposed action and the request for confirmation and the buttons being labelled with instructions.
Example:
File wibble. What if a document is overwritten?
A file name of that name already exists in this folder, it will be overwritten. Do you desire to replace this file?
If you only
had a single word in the first line then I would not use check, this can sound like a command to the user. What should I do, then?
Do you know what you’re doing?
This is the step confirming an action or verifying an instruction.
Confirmation
Saving wibble.doc. A file of that name already exists in this folder, it will be over-written. Can you replace this file?
Can you cancel

Topaz gemstone is one of the most important indian gemstones. I had thought it was usually blue, but some research shows that it can be diverse shades of orange and brown as well. Many plants in India (including India) have greenish colour. Why is
the November birthstone the symbol of friendship So we have beautiful, hard, crystalline, light refracting, light

Analysis of obscure information, is the way I begin this chapter. When I have explored concepts in this unfamiliar context, I will then show how to apply the ideas to a more familiar situation.
