What fun questions! Let's see what people come up with (without using a dictionary!)Originally Posted by Randi
Assume means to come to a conclusion based based on surrounding information.
Presume to me is just about the same thing - only with more emphasis
Surmise - drawing a conclusion - has a certain connotation to me of looking down your nose at the person who does not surmise as your do
Speak/talk - same thing - one just has more letters
Stamina is energy. Again - connotation - lots of energy
Stamina is what I need to have to persevere.
Preseverance - sticks with a task even though it is difficult
Explain/elucidate - mean the same thing - to describe. Elucidate has an air about it of "I will tell you, you poor simpleton, how it really is."
