Shadow and shade....the words are sometimes, but not always interchangeable.
Shade is what one seeks on a hot sunny day. We sit or walk in the shade.
Shadow usually refers to a shape cast by an object that blocks the sun. A person casts a shadow in the shape of the human body.
Both words have emotional connotations. To those of us who live in hot climates, shade has pleasant and soothing associations. Shadow is evocative of something mysterious or threatening, especially in the plural. Stalkers lurk in the shadows. As the sun sets, evening shadows fall, concealing what was formerly visible and making the ordinary strange.
Sylive just look at it this way “shadow is to shade as pool is to water.†Shade denotes a general state, while shadow implies a shape.

Thanks for this beautiful English lesson Author. I feel enlightened (I must say it before Brian does)
I meant window shades, shades like stores in this case, making their shadows on the wall?
We have one of these in our gym and they are excellent for a good biceps work out. You place your hands on the leather element and lean your body into a 45 degree angle, curl your toes in to prevent slippage. You then do a push up bringing the head down to leather element and ensure that the forehead is touching and hold the position for the count of 15 breaths, make sure the breaths are deep and diaphragmatic in nature. Then straighten out your arms, take a step forward to relax then redo the whole process agaiin...do it about 15 times and you will have biceps like OLGA from the VOLGA!

I never tried it either. About my first answer, I did taste licorice in my long life, but not the object. For this second answer, I never tried dried kelp, nor the object.
Shade, but shade of what? shade of window shades?
