word of the day - jul 11 08

propound
transitive verb
to offer for consideration; to put forward; to propose.

i'm thinking of changing the title of these posts to "the english language continues to confound me" because that's how i feel every time in post one.

propound. propose. why 2 alarmingly similar words to say the same thing? you know you just sound like a pompous ass when you use 'propound' rather than 'propose'...
