Writer's Note
Have you ever been "turned down"? Or have you been the person to "turn someone down"? To refuse or reject refers to the notion that you don’t accept something, such as an offering or a situation. When you refuse something, it could be understood as a more direct verbal denial. Whereas, to reject someone means to dismiss as inadequate, inappropriate, or not to one's preference. Remember that "turn down" is usually followed by a noun or pronoun of what is being rejected or lowered.
