Usage Note: In its mathematical usage parallel is an absolute termtwo lines either do or do not intersectand as such does not admit of qualification as to degree. Some grammarians have argued that this restriction should apply as well to nontechnical uses of the word. According to this logic, one may not say The two roads have been made more parallel, except perhaps as a loose way of saying what is rendered more precisely by expressions such as more nearly parallel. Like the analogous objection that has been made to the comparison of equal, the point betrays a misconception about the relation between mathematical concepts and their ordinary-language equivalents. Applied to objects in the world, parallel can only denote a rough approximation to a geometric ideal. A pair of rails or parked cars cannot be truly parallel in the mathematician's sense of the term but only more or less so, just as a road or shelf cannot be truly straight in the geometric sense but nonetheless may be described as very straight or relatively straight. The grammarians' compunctions make even less sense when applied to metaphorical uses of parallel, as in The difficulties faced by the Republicans are quite parallel to those that confronted the Democrats four years ago, in which the intended meaning has nothing to do with the possibility of intersection but instead suggests the structural correspondence of two distinct situations. In this sense, parallelism is clearly a matter of degree and the word parallel can be modified accordingly.
