announce verb 1 their financial results were announced: make public, make known, report, declare, divulge, state, give out, notify, publicize, broadcast, publish, advertise, circulate, proclaim, blazon. 2 Victor announced the guests: introduce, present, name. 3 strains of music announced her arrival: signal, indicate, give notice of, herald, proclaim; literary betoken. CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORD announce, blazon, declare, proclaim, promulgate, publish When you announce something, you communicate it in a formal and public manner, often for the first time (to announce the arrival of the guest of honor ). But just how you go about announcing something depends on what you're trying to convey. If you want to make sure no one misses your message, use blazon (signs along the highway blazoned the local farmers' complaints ). If you plan to make your views known to the general public through the medium of writing, use publish (to publish a story on drunk driving in the local newspaper ). Use proclaim if you have something of great importance that you want to announce very formally and officially (proclaim a national day of mourning ). Although declare also implies a very formal announcement (declare war ), it can refer to any clear and explicit statement (declare one's love ). Promulgate is usually associated with the communication of a creed, doctrine, or law (promulgate the views of the Democratic Party ).These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT WORD annoy, irritate, aggravate, vex, peeve ■ Someone or something that annoys a person displeases them and makes them moderately angry (his tone of joking superiority annoyed me ). ■ Irritate suggests a trifling but long-lasting cause of annoyance (nothing irritated him more than to be kept waiting ). ■ Some people believe that aggravate is properly used to mean only ‘make worse ’, but the sense ‘annoy or exasperate ’ is widespread and represents no greater a departure from an older meaning than many others that have long been accepted without comment. An action that aggravates someone else is quite often deliberate or at least easily avoidable (he hummed under his breath, which aggravated her ). ■ Vex is a more formal or literary word used of something that irritates or worries someone, especially when they are unable to do anything about it (I'm vexed at that girl —she ruined Christmas for the family ). ■ Peeve is an informal word, generally used when someone feels that they have been unfairly treated (Birkitt was looking distinctly peeved, aware that Banks had upstaged him ). It generally expresses relatively mild annoyance. ■ All these words, apart from peeve, are widely used as adjectives (it's so irritating having to constantly stop and put your kagoul on etc. ).These notes show fine distinctions in meaning between closely related synonyms to help you find the best word.
