Mrs. John Adams Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 You forgot to include this part: COURTESY : The Hindu (The National News-Paper) - India I HATE when people use definitions of words taken from people who are not native speakers. They always screw it up. In this case, at least one example is contrary to the definition. Anyway, that kind of hate? OK...yeah, I understand how a WS could "hate" in that sense. Stipulated, no argument. I thought people meant the real thing, the kind that causes men to shoot their wives, for example. Not just intense dislike. Anyway, I think the word just got us tripped up. We were talking about two different things all along. So if hate isn't the word, then what word does describe when you dislike someone so much (not necessarily revenge, more general) that you seek to destroy them somehow, maybe destroy their lives, destroy their career, destroy their health, destroy them in such a way as to cause irreparable harm. What word describes that? I always thought it was hate. Perhaps in another thread.... Vengeance??? Is mine sayeth the lord Link to post Share on other sites
