    Is

    it a thing that sucked to me?

    “But

    I think the closest you can come to a synonym for “meant” in that sentence is intended :

    intended |intendid| adjective planned or meant : the intended victim escaped.

  • It just means that the slump happened before the win. Is there anything wrong with the postpartum depression? Why are some patients undergoing postpartum depression and/or postpartum anxiety?

    When the prefix pre and post on Nouns is too short, they get attached easily and vice versa. What is the best way to have a post-victory party, a prenuptial agreement, pre- or post-prandial (before or after dinner) drinks, and how to sell it etc? Oops, you can’t find prewin on NGram. It’s already recognizable and understandable.

    Both constructions are valid, but the construction using to is preferable. And there is some awkwardness in your use of each.

    When I use that I would leave out the pronoun, which is redundant, and

    simply say : The police threatened that they would shoot the armed suspect.

    Still, the to construction works better here also (still leaving out the redundant pronoun): The

    police threatened to shoot the armed suspect…

    pagan subcategories who seems to be different or have religious belief from other religions there?

    What is pagan belief and what does it do based on it. Is “foreigner” a religious version? Ambrose Bierce might have described it as someone who believes in the wrong mythology, had he thought to include it in his Devil’s Dictionary?

    What should Greek be used to describe Zeus, Apollo and Aphrodite both? This is more specific than it is presumptuous.
