Which word -- clear, obvious, apparent, evident, plain?

These words all have almost exactly the same meaning. There are slight differences in register and patterns of use. If you make something clear/plain, you do so deliberately because you want people to understand something; if you make something obvious, you usually do it without meaning to: I hope I make myself obvious. Try not to make it so clear/plain.

In the expressions clear majority, for obvious reason and plain to see, none of the other words can be used instead. You can have a clear/an obvious/a plain case of something but not: an evident case of something.

Until next blog, keep living English.
