Comment on Authorization terminology is a mess: Let's fix itparent

Comments

I'm a native speaker and I agree. "Ought" can connote an obligation or responsibility of some sort. "Should" is used more often when the outcome is out of any control. It might only be the speaker's belief.

But there is significant overlap.

im not a native speaker and these always made perfect sense to me :(
