This may be culturally-specific. Although I don't recall forbode ever being used (even in literary English) other than in the specific form "foreboding", foresee and its derivatives such as foresaw, foreseen, unforeseen etc. are everyday terms where I come from (Ireland/UK). That said, you're probably right about what the OP actually meant. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
