January 2008Just Foolin' AroundJust weeks into 2008 and folks may be struggling to stick to their New Year's resolutions. We can't help with that, but we can offer up some interesting reading with the word promise. To find definitions that include the word promise, select the Unabridged as your reference and click on Advanced Search. Then type promise in the Definition field and click on Search. The 214 entries range from abide to vow. Those results seem promising, but let's refine the search by looking only at verbs. Go back to the Advanced Search, add verb into the Function field, then click on Search. Those 56 entries include the obsolete behight, the firm obligate, the weaselly renege and retract and the committed vow, all of which are worth reading. We promise. |
