Substitute For Versus Substitute With

By A.M.



Do you know the difference between substitute for and substitute with? Here we answer the question along with some examples.


What is the Difference Between Substitute for and Substitute With?

In substitute for, the first object mentioned replaces or takes the place of the second mentioned. In substitute with, the second object mentioned, replaces or takes the place of the first mentioned. For example:

I will use vanilla bean to substitute for vanilla syrup. This means, I will substitute vanilla syrup with vanilla bean. In both cases, I will use vanilla bean, NOT vanilla syrup.

When Should You Use Substitute for?

You use substitute for when you are using B as a replacement for A. For example:

I will use vanilla bean (B) as a substitute for vanilla syrup (A) in this recipe.

In this scenario, the recipe calls for vanilla syrup but the baker prefers to use vanilla bean instead. Or, the baker may not have vanilla syrup on hand, Rather, he or she has vanilla bean in the pantry.


To put this in another way, you use substitute for when you are using B and NOT A. For example:

I will take natural powdered herbal supplements (B) to substitute for actual herbs (A) in my diet.

In this scenario, the person will take natural powdered herbal supplements and NOT actual herbs. He or she may not like the taste of actual herbs. Or, the person may like to forego long preparations of herbal concoctions in his or her diet.


In these instances, A is the original or standard choice. But B is the final choice of use (replacement or alternative option). 

When Do You Use Substitute with?

Use substitute with when you are replacing A with B. For example:

I will substitute vanilla syrup (A) with vanilla bean (B).

In this scenario, the baker will not use vanilla syrup. Instead, the preferred or available ingredient he or she will use is vanilla bean.

 Use substitute with when you are using B and NOT A.

I will substitute actual herbs (A) with powdered herbal supplements (B).

In this scenario, the person will take powdered herbal supplements and NOT actual herbs.


In these instances,  A is the original or standard choice. But B is the final choice of use (replacement or alternative option).

Why Am I Sleepy During the Day?

By A.M.
What's causing your eyes and brain to shut down during the day? Why can't you keep your eyes open just when you really need to get some work or reading done? If you’ve been asking yourself, “ Why am I sleepy during the day ?” or struggling with that mid-morning or afternoon crash, you’re not alone. Millions of people deal with daytime sleepiness that makes it hard to focus, stay productive, or even enjoy daily activities. The good news? Most causes are simple and fixable once you know what’s behind that drowsy feeling. Too Many Carbs – A Common Cause of Daytime Fatigue If you're not careful, you can over-consume carbohydrates. And when you're taking in more carbohydrates than you can burn, you will get sleepy. Dr. Libby says it's either because your insulin levels are high or you might be gluten intolerant. Eat pasta, bread, potatoes and rice in moderation and space them properly. Studies show that a meal high in refined carbs can spike your blood sugar, follow...

When Did Church Become About Us?

By A.M.
When did  church and worship become centered around man? We sit during 'Sunday' (whatever day you have it) church and it’s become a program. Lots of noise and distraction. So many things happening. So many people talking. By the time we get to the message, the congregation is already tired from information overload and overstimulation. The message is the last one in, and it’s a sad thing that leaders feel the need to decorate Sunday worship with entertainment. Lots of announcements. Fun segments. Entertainment. Yes, connecting points. These are all important for fellowship. Just maybe not too many. And not one after another. Maybe, finish our main business first -  and that is to hear from God. And then after, we can hear from each other. Why is God’s voice often the last item? In a day and age when attention spans have shrunk so much, this is not a good thing. The Real Way to “Liven Up” Church Some leaders zero in on ways to liven up the church and come up with too...
