Asked on July 1, 2021 in American english.
The phrase ‘in two years’ is often used in words, but I disagree with certain semantics. The meaning of this phrase is obviously not semantic. Leveraging the difference in meaning might require nuanced poetic use, but I think not. For past tense, negative constructions (as in in “Bill hasn’t taken a vacation in/for 2
- years”), ‘.. in 2 years’ means’at any time in the past 2 years’; ‘…
- for 2 years’ means’since sometime prior to the past couple year’.
What does it mean when you say something what actually makes you change your name?

Asked on May 2, 2021 in Single word requests.
No one word denotes the frequency you seek in another word for ‘volunteer’, although some words suggest/connote it in a context you give with your example.
Among those words are
- altruist
- humanitarian
- philanthropist
I’ll rule out ‘philanthropist’ for your answer because overuse of ‘philanthropist’ in mass media has cheapened the word by associating it too closely with a giver of money instead of the truer’supplier of resources’.
Most people accept altruism as good, but not trustworthy.
Altruism
