Acquaintance vs. Contact

Ginneon Thursday Posts: 265 10/25/2014	I just now realize that many people I interact with regularly are not technically acquaintances of mine in Fallen London (presumably because we have not exchanged calling cards). Is there any practical difference between an acquaintance and someone who is just a contact? -- Ginneon Thursday: Revelrous Professor of Benthic Departments of Mycoenology, Lepidoptery
