Revenge, at least there is no physical hard as a condition precedent. Avenge and revenge both imply to inflict pain or harm in return for pain or harm inflicted on oneself or those persons or causes to which one feels loyalty. The two words were formerly interchangeable, but have been differentiated until they now convey widely diverse ideas. Avenge is now restricted to inflicting punishment as an act of retributive justice or as a vindication of propriety: to avenge a murder by bringing the criminal to trial. Revenge implies inflicting pain or harm to retaliate for real or fancied wrongs; a reflexive pronoun is often used with this verb: Iago wished to revenge himself upon Othello. ( avenge - Definitions from Dictionary.com) The perfect Friday Night or the perfect Sunday afternoon?
Sunday afternoon per previous...so it's politically correct to use one to hide the other. That's what we need, another cop-out, another "you misunderstood me", "I was righteous not vindictive", double-trouble word to confuse & baffle those who only want to understand. I appreciate the definition, but I don't agree with the usage. I see the difference, but it sounds like double talk (fork-tongue) stuff. People "oft" times jump to conclusions, (which is why good magicians succeed in their tricks). I see room for abuse here. The mind cannot possibly see & figure out "exactly" all the information it acquires as fast as it acquires it, without filling in the "blanks" with previously sensed/remembered information. Which is why people (who have been blind all their life)(and who get their vision) cannot immediately see as we do. There is too much information to process without memory. Education anyone ? ad-hoc or ad-lib ?
For hunting meat, the 30 cal. For a war gun, the "Pea" shooter (can carry more ammo) an easy one as for company... being around.... Quiet, stuffy, cold/distant, chastising genius.... or those of Loud, fun-loving, clingy/personable, supportive moronic nature ?
