Is there a difference between 'reduce' and 'decrease'?
Same except:
Reduce:
Transitive only. "Poplulation has reduced" (Not OK)
Metaphorical. "She has been reduced to poverty"
Decrease:
Both transitive and intransitive. "Waste decreases" (OK)
Transitive use of decrease sounds strange.
"decrease temperature" sounds odd.
