Hello Oliver, "For instance" is more formal than "for example". You would use "for instance" in an essay or a formal email/ business setting. By contrast, we use "for example" in a casual speech, when talking with friends or in informal emails.

Upon further investigating though, there is some subtle differences between the words. Patronizing can mean giving support to, or being a customer of. Condescending is used in the definition of patronizing, suggesting that superiority is gained through a donor-dependent relationship. The verb condescend originally didn't have a negative connotation. It can literally mean to go or come down, but it has been used figuratively to describe 'coming down to one's level' Over the years it has developed a negative meaning. In modern times, they're very similar. You could say: "He's always patronizing me." (which has a negative meaning), or "He always acts so condescending towards me." (also negative). Good question Ruth!
