My question is: are they interchangeable?
[color=blue][size=150]Hello[/size]…Anybody there!!!
Oh boy, the forum here going to die, where are the active people to answer our questions?

Yes, they are interchangeable. Examples:
Thank you, easy answer for difficult question.
Thank you
…
yes…Chiquitita may be correct because some one may threaten you by saying …’’ [color=blue]you have to meet the consequences…!! ‘’ as it has a negative effect in meaning. There may be many positive meanings…but consequences are merely meant for negatives…

Hi,
I agree they are interchangeable.

Hello Jamilion ^^;
It depends on the context. According to my understanding, “consequence” is the relationship of the “cause” to its “result”; effect [thefreedictionary.com ]. Result is the “consequence” of a particular action; outcome [thefreedictionary.com ]. You see? results are “immediate” while consequences take time. Also, “consequence” is usually used in negative contexts but that doesn’t mean the “consequence” can’t be positive. So, yeah it depends on the context. I’d say, if you wanna emphasize a negative result of a cause; use “consequence”; e.g. X faces the consequences of his/her bad behavior.
Ah… good, good, Thank you , that what I was looking for.
don’t turn off the candle I’m behind you,
