If I were to use them separately, I would tend to think that ';rant'; has more of a negative connotation (like venting or complaining), while rave would be more positive (ie. rave reviews, was raving about something, etc.).

check out a fun word game here: http://buzz.prevention.com/community/coo鈥?/a>I often see the words ';rant'; and ';rave'; together. What is the distinction between the two words?
Rave has a more physical connotation, but rant is strictly verbal. Also like ';stark raving mad'; the visual for this is a person who is not only non-senscal in verbiage but also in behavior.
