     Usage: Pleasant, Pleasing, Agreeable. Agreeable is
            applied to that which agrees with, or is in harmony
            with, one's tastes, character, etc. Pleasant and
            pleasing denote a stronger degree of the agreeable.

            pleasing, to the act or effect. Where they are applied
            to the same object, pleasing is more energetic than
            pleasant; as, she is always pleasant and always
            pleasing. The distinction, however, is not radical and
            not rightly observed.
