common sense is knowing the basic 'obvious' things people are 'expected' to know. obvioulsy that is dependent on context. for example, a chemist would be expected not to mix certain chemicals together that are known to explode, but a random guy off the street would not - (though one may argue that if you arent a chemist, commoon sense would tel you that you shuoldnt be playing with chemicals, but you see the point)


oh and if someone is stupid enough to open emails with subjects like that, especially from people they dont know, im speechless. if its from a friend, subjects like that i would still be wary around. and here i would label that as common sense, since over the past few years, everyone who doesnt live in cave has heard enough on the news about neing careful with opening emails and stuff, so people should know to be careful about this kind of thing

Obvious is nothing more than the person identifying something they already know to be true, but others may not see it as obvious because they are not privacious to the information that the person that thinks it is obvious has. Like I may not know how to change my oil because I never did it, but a person that does it for a living may feel it to be obvious that I need to remove the drain plug to do it...
