Is every sentence you write going to have the word "realise" in it?

Don't you realize what I just got when I tried hunting for a definition for your made up word?

1828 English Dictionary said:
Your search [word => 'realise' ] did not return any results.

________________________________________________

From the search: 'realize' in the same dictionary:

1828 English Dictionary said:
RE'ALIZE, v.t.

1. To bring into being or act; as, to realize a scheme or project.

We realize what Archimedes had only in hypothesis, weighing a single grain of sand against the globe of earth.

2. To convert money into land, or personal into real estate.

3. To impress on the mind as a reality; to believe, consider or treat as real. How little do men in full health realize their frailty and mortality.

Let the sincere christian realize the closing sentiment.

4. To bring home to one's own case or experience; to consider as one's own; to feel in all its force. Who, at his fire side, can realize the distress of shipwrecked mariners?

This allusion must have had enhanced strength and beauty to the eye of a nation extensively devoted to a pastoral life, and therefore realizing all its fine scenes and the tender emotions to which they gave birth.

5. To bring into actual existence and possession; to render tangible or effective. He never realized much profit from his trade or speculations.

Try using an English dictionary, not an American (non-) English dictionary to look up an English word, or is that too intellectually challenging to have occurred to you?

The dictionary I use was written back in 1828, which was before the english language ever evolved, right?

Why don't you use an encyclopedia to figure out when the English language evolved?

Was this supposed to make sense?

Don't you know that you were quoting from Noah Webster's 1828 American Dictionary of the English Language, & as I said I am writing in British English?

Don't you know that English is the language that English people like myself use, & is the language that certain Americans like ichwar also use but seem to have some trouble spelling correctly?

Don't you know that it isn't 1828 any more so you should at least try looking in a modern dictionary? (which shows the correct spelling for today).

Don't you know that I quoted to you from an American dictionary earlier, & even that had the British version of "realise" in it?

Is that enough questions for you, in the Question Game? :biggrin:

Don't you know that the 1828 has some of the most comprehensive meanings for the foundational words of the English language?
