I see lot of bad grammar and spelling in online stuff, and I usually put it down to poor English on the part of the writer, but this video gives me pause. https://digg.com/video/man-explores-the-steinway-piano-vault-demonstrates-the-difference-is-between-a-200000-piano-and-a-2000000-piano This looks more like robo content. The a/an prepositions (1,2,5) would be technically correct, since 'an' always precedes a word that starts with a vowel. But if the author spoke the words, they'd know they're wrong. A bot might not know this if it were unsupervised. It also seems to have mindlessly pieced together noun phrases without regard to their countable versus uncountable-ness (3,4). As if the instructions for compilation are as a simple as: Choose Header: "This is equivalent to a/an" Choose from list of things: used 2018 Porsche CDK700 4 years living in NYC 2 years cost on piano class Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!

I'm thinking that the posters were produced by a bot / automated program. Something where you plug in a number and it comes up with what it is equivalent to. So it is likely using simplistic rules, as you suggest, and likely also written by a non-native English speaker who doesn't know better.

In a pure linguistic sense they can and cannot be used interchangeably. It depend on the sway or toward which it leans. Eh:maybe it will rain. It creates a different sense with same meaning eg, when u think it is going to rain and when you think it is not going to rain. Perhaps it will rain. When u think it will rain and when u think it will not rain. When u think it is going rain using "maybe" and when u think it is going to rain "perhaps" can be used interchangeably. But when u think it is going to rain "maybe" and when think it is not going to rain "perhaps" cannot be used interchangeably. I hope this is correct.
