It's not the difference as per se, it's more how one would translate those two terms into CANADIAN French.
Tony M Dec 13, 2013:
@ Asker Right, that's very much the way I would understand it from my GB perspective.
Olivier Den Hartigh (asker) Dec 13, 2013:
Hi Tony,
A clipper would be to cut hair while a trimmer would be to trim a beard, I guess
Tony M Dec 12, 2013:
@ Asker Given your 2 questions, what is the distinction you are making between 'trimmer' and 'clipper'?
