In gaming nomenclature, when you use fire damage, you burn. When you use cold damage, you freeze. When you use holy damage, you smite. And so on.
What's a good verb for using psychic damage, i.e., making a psychic or mental attack on someone?
"A person whose words are not enough to describe what she sees. " "Person" doesn't refer to any specific gender, but if I, myself, know I'm talking about a woman, should I use "she"? Or maybe "they"?
@Robusto yeah I'm subscribed to these jokers. Actually, I'll go see them live in concert in Frankfurt this October.
@Cerberus Most people don't know what a dictionary is.
If you spent any time on ELU, you'd know. Or on YouTube, for that matter.
@Robusto I did spend two weeks learning to hold the violin and bow before even bothering my teacher with the first lesson. Though of course the point of the video really isn't the specifics, but the general idea of "you say a thing and they just won't listen".
"destination," 1520s, from French borne, apparently a variant of bodne (see bound (n.)). Used by Shakespeare in Hamlet's soliloquy (1602), from which it entered into English poetic speech. He meant it probably in the correct sense of "boundary," but it has been taken to mean "goal" (Wordsworth, Matthew Arnold) or sometimes "realm" (Keats).
The dread of something after death, The vndiscouered Countrey; from whose Borne No Traueller returnes. ["Hamlet" III.i.79]
Or possibly "boundary".
And tho' means "(al)though".
ELU is probably not the right place to ask, unless it is about a specific word, expression, or construction.
I am writing about how a business can make a change that benefits the community and increases their profits, the line I am stuck on is
'...and rewarding both _______ and financially'
What word can I use to fill in the blank.
I read about the word in a book where it says if an ordinary man say “ I now pronounce you men and wife.” It doesn't make the couple husband and wife. But when the same words are spoken by a priest, it makes them husband and wife.
The word starts with either "i" or "l".
Hope you guys can help me...
