[Locked] "Associated with" vs. "accompanied by"

pasu1223

Has anyone else noticed a difference in these two phrases?

I was working on PT 47 and "accompanied by" seems to indicate correlation while "associated with" seems to be causation. Is this a recurring thing, or am I misinterpreting these questions?

Thanks for any help!

Hi @pasu1223,

As some people are responding to your question on the other thread on the same topic, I am closing this thread.
