As the last of the recent theme of less funny, more meaningful Wørds of the week. Back to the strange and interesting next week.
Reconcile – n
1. to win over to friendliness; cause to become amicable: to reconcile hostile persons.
2. to compose or settle (a quarrel, dispute, etc.).
3. to bring into agreement or harmony; make compatible or consistent: to reconcile differing statements; to reconcile accounts.
4. to reconsecrate (a desecrated church, cemetery, etc.).
5. to restore (an excommunicate or penitent) to communion in a church.
The eclectic ramblings from the semi-charmed life of a slightly cranky 40-something peripatetic Australian fag with delusions of normalcy.
