          why won't you accept perfectly valid synonyms in the damn answers? Isn't large equivalent to big?

          It takes DL a while to learn - it's only software, takes a while to get actual persons to look at the answers. Just keep clicking the report button.

            I agree with Boofunk, bigger and larger can be used synonymously.

            I did report it and nothing has changed. How many times must something be reported for a action is taken on it?

            I don't know, but sometimes it is a LOT of times.

            A cat is larger than a mouse should be accepted. Reported October 19 2018.

              I got a message from DL that says "larger" is now accepted.
