Yarggg

Ensure is assure on steroids. Get it yet?


but ENSURE may imply a virtual guarantee

You don't get it.

"Ensure" implies a guarantee, yes. As in, "Getting your head shot off guarantees a quick death".

But if you won't believe me, fine.

Quote:

Assure, ensure, and insure all mean ?to make secure or certain.? Only assure is used with reference to a person in the sense of ?to set the mind at rest?: The ambassador assured the Prime Minister of his loyalty. Although ensure and insure are generally interchangeable, only insure is now widely used in American English in the commercial sense of ?to guarantee persons or property against risk.? If you want to keep them straight, it may be easier just to give these words separate roles: I assure you that we have insured the grounds to ensure that we will be protected in case of a lawsuit stemming from an accident.
http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/assure.html

Quote:

To ?assure? a person of something is to make him or her confident of it. According to Associated Press style, to ?ensure? that something happens is to make certain that it does, and to ?insure? is to issue an insurance policy. Other authorities, however, consider ?ensure? and ?insure? interchangeable. To please conservatives, make the distinction. However, it is worth noting that in older usage these spellings were not clearly distinguished.

European ?life assurance? companies take the position that all policy-holders are mortal and someone will definitely collect, thus assuring heirs of some income. American companies tend to go with ?insurance? for coverage of life as well as of fire, theft, etc.

Quote:

Assure means "to promise" or "to state with confidence": "I assure you that we will be on time." "I can assure you that nobody in this class will fail."

Ensure and insure are used interchangeably to mean "to make certain." However, some authorities (including this writer) insist upon using only ensure in this sense, restricting insure to matters of legal and financial protection (i.e., to protect against loss). Thus, these authorities would prefer ensure in: "A good outline will help to ensure that an essay is well organized" and "We take every step to ensure that products are of the highest quality." Most references state, however, that either insure or ensure could be used in these sentences.

Insure is always used when matters of legal and financial protection (i.e., insurance) are involved: "In New Jersey, it is expensive to insure a car." "The young model wanted to insure her elderly husband's life for one million dollars."

LOL Jimmie will never do anything to anyone. He told NOFX he was going to break his Jaw and then about 1 month later wrote it off to "i am done with it, he is banned and i am not" etc... Classic all talk, no action, keyboard warrior.

He may talk big online but he will never do anything about it, he has proven that. Just ask NOFX if you don't believe me. :1orglaugh

What's really got your knickers in a twist? I'm assuming I insulted one of your pals or something. Whatever. Skate it off man, it happens.

I have (up til tonight) had nothing but respect for you. That's changing rapidly. You're acting like a twat. Don't ever fucking threaten me dude. I'm not some scrawny fucking gimp you can push around at some fucking twink bar somewhere. For real.

Anyway.

After you began your episode tonight I tried to contact you on ICQ to see what your fucking malfunction was and you ignored me. Oh well.




I'm asking PUBLICLY, what's got your panties in a bunch guy?

Ps: Fuck you.


that's hilarious... dweeb attention whore trying to look tough to a dweeb geerbox attention whore.

Come on girls, kiss and make up

1. to secure or guarantee: This letter will ensure you a hearing.
2. to make sure or certain: measures to ensure the success of an undertaking.

Sorry, but Jim was right. Assure is the better word.

Think of it like this- ensure means the same as "make sure". You should be able to interchange those two in a sentence, and the sentence should still make sense.

You know, I train 6 days a week, sometimes as long as 4 hours a day. I'm in pretty good shape and I'm a pretty good fighter because of it ... Let me tell you though, I'd think twice about dancing with Lindsay though.

I don't mean I'm afraid of him, and I'm not trying to kiss his ass, I'm just saying he's a meaty man with a neck the size of my waist and a pretty solid looking jaw. Good luck Jim.

I will personal ENSURE and ASSURE that Lindsay will back up whatever he says on the boards in person. Period. :)

KrisKross 08-25-2006 11:44 PM

You don't ensure somebody, you assure them.

"I ensure you that..." is not proper usage. For example, you could say "I assure you that you're wrong" but not "I ensure you that you're wrong". Instead, you'd say "I'll ensure that you're wrong". Slight and subtle difference in use, but a difference nonetheless.

Just because one word is a synonym of the other doesn't mean they're perfectly interchangeable. For example, "believe" and "affirm" are synonyms. You can say "I believe in God" but you wouldn't say "I affirm in God". Instead, you'd say something like "I affirm God's existence".

Capice?
