coinjar876 Jul 06, 2010	Umm... Front - Face and Die - Crash aren't really synonyms, are they?
MarcM1098 Jul 07, 2010	Face/Front are actually synonyms in two completely different senses "face" is the "front" of something, like a clock or a head; also, they both refer to a pretence. http://thesaurus.com/browse/front For Die/Crash, they are near synonyms (as the instructions say they can be), they can both refer to a broken computer.
