I hate giving corrections, and this is a severe word misunderstanding, so I feel it's better to inform rather than leave it. I mean no disrespect by posting this, I intend only to inform and/or educate.
- sigmaprimus 5y agoMuch appreciated, I do disagree with it being severe in this particular case as the Seller now technically now owes Amazon for shipping but yes I stand corrected and intended the word "ONUS" or "BURDEN". Maybe my friends gift that was "RETURNED" by Amazon will get replaced with a Scrabble game from Walmart!! +1 for You PS: I guess I should spend more time in the LiBerry and Axe more questions ;P

- wodenokoto 5y agoThanks, I couldn't guess the right word/spelling from context, and the dictionary didn't help me.
- tgsovlerkhgsel 5y agoThank you. I didn't make that link and thought it was some rarely used English word that I hadn't heard before.
