A warranty is a guarantee. I used the word "guarantee" as well. It's the right word to use. Seriously, what do you think a guarantee is?

- SixSigma 11y agoWe guarantee these O-Rings will not rupture. If these O-Rings rupture, we will replace them under warranty.
- phaemon 11y ago> We guarantee these O-Rings will not rupture. Ah, so you're thinking of a guarantee like a politician would use the word. "I personally guarantee that..." Every time I hear them say that on TV I'm thinking, "Really? So, what are you going to give me if it doesn't work out? What's that? Nothing?! Then it's not a guarantee is it! You might as well have said you pinky-promise, it would be worth as damn much!" And then my wife tells me to calm down and stop ranting at the TV. > If these O-Rings rupture, we will replace them under warranty. See, that's a guarantee.
