i am going home , i am heading home "differences"?

Question

are there differences between heading and going ? if so , what are they?

Answer 1

"Heading" as used there is what's called a colloquialism - meaning that isn't a strictly dictionary-accurate use of the word but that's how people talk in casual conversation. It's derived from a nautical term for setting your course (e.g. "We need a North-by-Northeast *heading* to get back to port"). So saying that you're heading home is fine if you're just hanging out [another colloquialism] with friends, but if you were doing some kind of technical or professional writing, "going home" is more proper. If a cop was filing an official accident report, for instance, it would look best to record that "the driver was *going* home via MLK Highway when he lost control at the Main St intersection...."

The mayo treatment actually works. Lice have a hard time clinging to greasy hair which is why kids who shampoo alot and have a clean head usually end up victims to the critters. You would think the opposite. I also know it is way easier to take the nits out outside in the daylight. The show up better than with a house light.

Not really it has same meaning, Just different way of saying it (unless someone wants to relate it to a boring theory)
