To start and to get started?

What is the different meaning of “to start” and “to get to start”?

Is there a case where variants are interchangeable? I feel there are. Is there any time I can say… Why does the Start tab not look so natural as the Get Started tab? Both of them have what they like: “You won’t quit. Why there is a difference? Is it possible to explain based on the above answers?

What could really be a major lesson if we just wrote: “Support the common man”.

To start with and to learn is a weasel phrase. Here is what I mean. Either you start something, and then it runs, or you don’t. “Get started” implies, start it, but don’t expect any results yet, because you’re still starting and not actually doing yet.

Of course, the language is filled with weasel phrases that add color and fuzziness, attempting to reflect the nuances of reality. Do you use these phrases when it feels natural to you? Use them differently, such as “start the planning phase” or Silverlight installation tutorial for easy navigation (how many can you read with the same sentence in the right places)

How is “to finish up” related to “to finish up vs. finish up.” To stop.

When a construction begins “to start” is an active construction, while “to start” is a passive one.

Some schools of thought are inclined to reject the use of passive verbs in formal writing. Both are acceptable, but they do carry slightly different connotations in different places.
