Hurricane and Typhoon
I have been confused by the definition of hurricanes and typhoons for many years. I learned that both of them can cause severe destruction along the coastal areas, though I have never experienced such bad situations because I live in an inland area. I saw all the news about hurricanes and typhoons on TV or the internet, they can form rotating storms. I cannot tell the difference between them.
I'm not alone. When in a casual chat with my friend yesterday, I came to know that they are really mostly the same. In simple summary, both of them are tropical cyclones, we name "Hurricane" if come form in the Atlantic Ocean and name "Typhoon" if they form in the Pacific Ocean. As common people, we can ignore their very subtle difference.
It's so interesting. There might be some stories why scientists give their names.

Thank you very much for your corrections. I really enjoyed the last sentence you provided for me. :-)
Hurricanes and Typhoons
Use the plural to talk about the general topic in this instance.
I have been confused by the definition of hurricanes and typhoons for many years.
I learnedt that both of them can cause severe destruction along the coastal areas, though I have never experienced such badthese terrible situations because I live in an inland area.
It is general coastal areas not specific ones so "the" not needed. "terrible situations" would be a more common collocation here.
I sawwatched all the news about hurricanes and typhoons on TV or the internet,; they can form rotating storms.
would use "to watch" here. watch suggests you are deliberately following what is happening. Two complete sentences should not be joined with a comma use semi-colon.
I cannot tell the difference between them.
I'm not alone.
When iIn a casual chat with my friend yesterday, I came to know that they are really mostbasically the same thing.
Don't need the "when". If two things are more or less the same can say "basically the same X"
In simple summary, both of them are tropical cyclones, we name. We call it a "Hurricane" if comeit forms in the Atlantic Ocean and namea "Typhoon" if ithey forms in the Pacific Ocean.
"It forms" rather than "it comes form" (note -s at end as third person singular). Two sentences needed.
As common people, weRegular people, like us, can ignore their very subtle difference.
"Regular people" sounds better. "common people" is slightly derogatory sounding.
It's so interesting.
There might be some stories out there about why scientists giave theirm these names.
"gave" names as in the past.
Feedback
Good work. Hurricanes and typhoons are a bit confusing. In the Indian Ocean they are called cyclones.
