Epiphany vs. affinity Sat Dec 23, 2006 11:34 am  Epiphany vs. affinity		  
Somewhere on this website, I read a text where a person says he or she has an "epiphany" for a certain dialect of German. (If my memory serves me correctly, that's what the "epiphany" was for.)

I think the person meant affinity.

Compare the definitions from the Oxford American Dictionary:

Quote:
epiphany
the manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles as represented by the Magi (Matthew 2:1–12).
• the festival commemorating this on January 6.
• a manifestation of a divine or supernatural being.
• a moment of sudden revelation or insight.

affinity
a spontaneous or natural liking or sympathy for someone or something : he has an affinity for the music of Berlioz.

You are absolutely right Jamie, many thanks for pointing this out. Stewart has an affinity for Saxon dialects.
