Have you ever told someone to stop shouting or yelling? I sometimes hear people say "stop yelling or dont yell at me", "You are shouting again". What is the difference between the two? Is it the tone that was used? Or are both the same meaning? Please share your opinion.

for me both has the same meaning..shouting and yelling is i guess talking aloud and sometimes can be too irritating to hear..

I think yelling is more like crying as a little child , complaining about something that is not fair or offensive... Shouting is more like for serious things , that are really make people angry , or as a hard rock vocals , shout out loud :P Well , that is pretty much the same , it is talking too loud out of anger. I hope it makes sense.
