Shocking revelation

ensure or insure: In the UK (and Australia), the word ensure (to make sure, to make certain) has a distinct meaning from the word insure (often followed by against – to guarantee or protect against, typically by means of an "insurance policy"). The distinction is only about a century old, and this helps explain why in (North) America ensure is just a variant of insure, more often than not. According to Merriam-Webster's usage notes, ensure and insure "are interchangeable in many contexts where they indicate the making certain or [making] inevitable of an outcome, but ensure may imply a virtual guarantee <the government has ensured the safety of the refugees>, while insure sometimes stresses the taking of necessary measures beforehand <careful planning should insure the success of the party>.

Milkribs was right the whole time. We all never knew. We're dumb, he's smart. Who knows what else he knew was right about and we poked fun at him for it? He was always a good sport about it and didn't insult our intelligence. He probably got fed up with our stupidity and left /lounge/.

this is what us Americans learn in kindergarten.

So he's over a hundred years old?

I miss 'ribs. Where has he gone to?
