Connecting you to worthwhile events, information and people
Do you like to be sure of things? One thing you may not be so sure about is the difference between “ensure” and “insure.”
Ensure means to guarantee, or make sure of something.
Insure references insurance, or paying a premium for future protection of assets, like a house or a car.
Here’s a way to remember it: It’s “easier” (with an “e”) to ensure something, but “I” don’t like paying for insurance.
A week ago today, my family, friends and neighbors came to my rescue, big time. Two pipes in my house gushed water after the cold snap, and the day before I woke up to no heat — on one of the coldest mornings in Atlanta’s history.
But within 48 hours, the pilot light had been lit in my furnace, a wet vac sucked water out of my soaked carpet, and repairs on the two pipes were complete.
I dedicate this week’s ChanteSez to Duane and Piggie, Jarrad, William, Elton, Aldon and my “Pops.” Thank you for being here for me!
Burst vs. bust — Which is correct? Burst. While “busted” may sound appropriate, it actually refers to an object being smashed, rather than it breaking open from within.
