*Especially* the slow cooked fillet of beef!!

They were on last night and we sat there with a glass of wine salivating.
They are definitely on the to-do list!! Even the crepes!!

I don't know much about wines. Which ones salivate?

Adverse to a little good-natured fun, eh? Sad. Carry on with that nap.

Should've been *averse*. My own typo. Grrrrrr.

Oops! No fun allowed. I forgot!

I really mean "Ho-hum."

Word Usage

adverse or averse?

Both words mean "opposed" in different ways. Adverse is normally used
before an abstract noun such as circumstances or conditions when they
are unfavorable or likely to cause difficulties: An adverse action was
filed against him. Averse describes people who are disinclined to do
something or have a strong dislike specified by the word that follows
to: As an actor he is not averse to publicity. Averse is never used
before a noun, as adverse normally is, and is most often accompanied by
not.

HTH.

Yes, I knew I meant "averse" as soon as I saw "adverse" in my post.

That's why I corrected it.

Er...

Ho-hum.

That said, what's the source of that usage blurb. I might like to
bookmark it along with my other language stuff, if it's from a
collection of usage guides (rather than just one within a dictionary
entry for one of the two words).

That's just a dic entry, rather than a compilation of usage notes; i.e.,
that's what I noted I was not looking for, but thanks for responding.

As long as you don't mind slash rhyme.

Okay, now hold on. I thought I knew "slash rhyme" as the term for
almost-rhyming-good-enuogh-for-government-work rhyming -- like your
"um" and "un", there. I can't for the life of me find the term used
like that via Google. Hmmph.

Heck, I asked it for "consubstantiation" to see if it would do a
compare-and-contrast with "transubstantiation" and it came up dry. Some
usage guide *that* is! Seriously, I'll give it some tests and see
how it does. Thanks for the lead.

If, in turn, this kind of refernence interests you at all, here's one
that I've found quite useful -- mostly for giving links to perpetrators
of criminal word mixing.
