difference between 'case examples' and 'example cases' #1 (permalink) Wed Apr 02, 2008 14:09 pm   difference between 'case examples' and 'example cases'
 

Is there any difference between 'case example' and 'example case' other than the word order?

In examples such as this, I'd say they are interchangeable:

The former can sometimes mean "an/one example from a case", and the latter "an example using the whole case" - the former being partial and the latter total. Other times, they seem interchangeable.
