Granted it was only a limited sample size, but in his brief stint with the Canucks his defensive game wasn't all that bad. It was offense, where he delivered almost nothing.
The difference between 'refine', 'develop' or 'improve'. A dictionary might help.
Many probably don't know that a dictionary is a book (or an on-line equivalent) that lists words alphabetically and provides definitions and etymologies. The Oxford (commonly referred to as the OED) lists definitions chronologically, from the first known use of a word to its most current. Most others list the definitions in order of contemporary frequency.

Did you quote @F A N by accident, and you were actually for some reason telling us that you're currently locked in the throes of a semantic argument with yourself?
We need to reach an accommodation. I'll stop reading your posts if you stop reading mine.
