Nuance & Nuisance

Nuance means subtle or slight degree of difference, as in meaning, feeling, or tone; a gradation: “It’s important to know the finer nuances of the language in order to master it.”

Nuisance , on the other hand, means someone or something that is inconvenient, annoying, or vexatious; a bother : “The teacher punished the boy who was creating a nuisance in the class.”
