simulate vs stimulate
by rabi mishra on May 01, 2007 11:33 AM

In the IT industry I have seen many using 'stimulate' when they want to say 'simulate'. A simulation is an "imitation of some real thing, state of affairs, or process". But, Stimulation means "to excite". They have completely different meaning.
