- chrisweekly 2y agoWhat's the single, unambiguous definition of the word "cleave"?
- ToValueFunfetti 2y agoAloha! Indeed, the language is being cleaved by such oversights. You can be in charge of overlooking this issue, effective ahead of two weeks from now. We'll peruse your results and impassionately sanction anything you call out (at least when it's unravelable). This endeavor should prove invaluable. Aloha!
- simonw 2y agoIt's pretty clearly true. Bank: financial institution, edge of a river, verb to stash something away Spring: a season, a metal coil, verb to jump Match: verb to match things together, noun a thing to start fires, noun a competition between two teams Bat: flying mammal, stick for hitting things And so on.
- rcxdude 2y agoYou're pushing up against the english language, then. 'let' has 46 entries in the dictionary (more if you cinsider obsolete usages).
