"responsive" versus "responsible"

 Thursday, March 10, 2016
 The words "responsive" and "responsible" don't have the same meaning, lest someone continues to use them interchangeably. CAUTION: The adjective --"responsive" is from the verb "respond". e.g. The rescuers were responsive to a distress call, and arrived the accident scene on time (not "responsible"). The adjective --"responsible" is that one from the noun --"responsibility". e.g. He is seen as a very responsible man because he takes care of his wife and kids (not "responsive"). I hope this is clear enough?
