My definition of nerd is a smart geek. So all nerds are geeks but not all geeks are nerds.<br /><br />I found this on Google.<br />http://m.wikihow.com/Tell-the-Difference-Between-Nerds-and-Geeks<br />It's okay but I think it makes nerd sound a bit negative. There's also this info graphic someone made. Yet again I'm not sure if I completely agree with it.<br />http://gizmodo.com/the-difference-between-a-geek-and-a-nerd-in-one-graph-603765348<br /><br />Great post!monkey_gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16549688396138547850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-39913659265102483422013-07-28T13:33:22.677+01:002013-07-28T13:33:22.677+01:00Hi H2B,
