In practice considerateness has only one current sense, 'thoughtfulness for others' (your considerateness over the years has been greatly appreciated), and it shares this sense with consideration (consideration for others is one of his good points). By contrast, consideration has a number of current senses, including (a) a circumstance taken into account, a reason considered; careful thought (To have a doctor living nearby is a consideration of some weight with me; the topography of the village of Fetherhoughton may repay consideration-H. Mantel, 1989); (b) a reward, remuneration (pigs were sold to me for a trifling consideration); (c) in several idiomatic phrases, especially to take into consideration, under (active) consideration, and in consideration of. Consideration is a blossoming word; considerateness is a wayside flower. ----------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ventureline.com/glossary.htm#sectC ----------------------------------------------------------- SHARE CAPITAL is that portion of a corporation's equity obtained from issuing shares in return for cash or other considerations.
