Ways to tell them apart:
- Vane is a noun that refers to a flat piece of material that shows the direction of the wind, while vein is a noun that pertains to a vessel in the body or a streak found in minerals or rocks.
- To remember the difference, think of a vein flowing with blood, like a line of thought running through an argument or discussion.
- Vane is related to weather indicators, so if you’re not talking about wind direction, the word is most likely vein.
- The expression in the same vein metaphorically refers to the flow of ideas, similar to how veins carry blood.
- If youre discussing continuity or similarity in approach or subject matter, vein' is the correct choice.
