While intra- (within) and inter- (between), seem to have become interchangable today, it seems to me that what is inter-resting to a person, is merely what is within them. Any thoughts anyone? I think it probably should be intra-resting (but maybe the word got changed because of the double-R), however I do not think the meaning of inter-resting has changed (except in everyday social use).

So, what do people here find inter-resting?? (actually, the fact that inter- means 'between' does not matter, because what is inter-resting, still shows some relevence to an individuals experience. What is resting between the object (symbol) and the person is inter-resting, so the same still applies!
On the contrary, Mucker, there's still a huge difference between inter- and intra- in the world today. I mean, just look at the vast difference between interstate commerce and intrastate commerce... There you have it. Good day to you. :bugeye:
Yeah, what I said in my last post. What is inter-resting is what is between the object (symbol!) and the person. Doesn't matter now anyway, it's a shit one.
Perhaps it is what piques your curiosity between resting? When you are awake ( or between resting periods) what is inter-resting to you occupies your mind.
