Oh, and "ease" and "convenience" are not closely-related concepts?
Damn, you people are stupid.

So prove it.
So far you've spewed a lot of rhetoric with absolutely no backup. Put
up or shut up.

Not everything that is convenient is easy. It's convenient for you to
blast Microsoft - so many do it. The problem is that it sure isn't
easy for you (or the naysayers) to substantiate your allegations
beyond shrill rhetoric and name calling.

Sorry, but as wrong as ChrisV is about Intel processors ;-), you
have no footing here. Convienient ~ easy. They don't call them
"convenience marts" (A.K.A Quickie-Mart) for nothing.
However, if you wish to use the terms in incongruent sentences,
how about:
It's "easy" to blast M$ucks.
It's "convenient" to redefine terms to suit your agenda.

Not at all. It's convenient for me to have a Quickie half a mile from
my house. That does not necessarily make it easy for me to get there.
Now, if it were convenient *and* easy...
The terms are not necessarily synonymous.

I guess not being a native English speaker makes this example
contradictory to me... How can it be convenient to have a quickie half
a mile from your house if it is not easy to get there?
It made sense if I reversed it, ie easy to get there but not
convenient to have a quickie there, or even convenient to get there
but not easy to have a quickie.
Or maybe my English just plain sucks

Maybe if there is a big honking river (with no bridges) between you
and the quickie-mart?
I think we all know that it's not always easy to have a quickie.
Organizing schedules and a meeting place to do that can sometimes be
rather difficult, and that's assuming that you've already got someone
lined up to have a quickie with!
Ohh wait.. were we still talking about convenience stores? Umm..
never mind then! :>

I suggest that you study the language some more. They are indeed
synonymous. ChrisV has you dead-wrong here.

Sure, that's the beauty of the language. Though I've never found
it easy to find a quickie, though the easy ones are quick.
....or, Quick women are fast, but so am I? ...err, that wasn't
quite what I wanted to say... ;-)

I am native English but consider:
What good is half a mile from my house if I have to jump through hoops
for that half mile to get there (multiple traffic lights, construction
on the roads, etc.)?
The local Wal-Mart is indeed about a mile from my house. That makes
it very convenient. Unfortunately right now the city has torn up the
road and is doing major work on it. So much for ease of getting
there.
First hand experience trumps hypothetical every time.
Think *outside* the box...

Ok, now I'm totally confused by your illiteracy.
Then it is not convenient to shop there is it, Roj? It's not
easy, thus it cannot be convenient. A pretty simple concept, no?
Then it is not convenient said:
Logic trumps illiteracy, every time.
Think!

I however am not in the slightest bit befuddled by your lack of
understanding.
Sure it is. Just not right now.
Only for the simple.
Then you quite obviously have a ways to go since you need to
strengthen both skills. Persevere and don't lose hope though - one
day you may well get there.
Or at least you may think you will...

Now, assuming you can read (a quite valid assumption) and understand
(that one's a bit of a stretch but I'll give you the benefit of the
doubt for the sake of argument), here are two quickies (no pun
intended - it would be wasted upon you anyway) from Google, thus
easily accessible by all:
Web Definition: easy - with ease (`easy' is sometimes used
informally for `easily'); "she was easily excited"; "was easily
confused"; "he won easily"; "this china breaks very easily"; "success
came too easy"
Web Definition: convenient - suited to your comfort or purpose or
needs; "a convenient excuse for not going"
I'm sure the resulting torrential flow of illogic attempting to
justify your viewpoint will be most entertaining (at least to some),
but I think the above spells it out in black and white, consequently
putting the issue to bed.
There endeth the lesson - and my participation in your efforts at
"Continuing Education".
