To figure out the Difference between   BIG and LARGE (revised)

From the column, you will find out that " big " is more often used in the colloquial than in the written system.  However, "large" is opposed to " big" .  Also, you can find that both of them can be used in countable noun or uncountable .   " big " is frequently appeared in the daily conversation, and "large" is quite used in the formal occasion, for instance, in writting to describe the scale, degree, amount, and so on.
