Can I say “acquiesce” and be acquiescent? @MarkBeadles - I guess my confusion stemmed from the word protest, which I initially took to mean as, "saying or implying anything against a proposal." |

Can I say “acquiesce” and be acquiescent? looks like I need a better dictionary. So if I say, "I acquiesce to whatever...." I am saying that I disagree or have reservations, but I will submit and press the issue no further. This makes more sense to me. |

Correct usage of “awhile” @JoshuaDrake - Whenever I've heard it said, it's never prefaced with "in." |

Correct usage of “awhile” Might be a Pennsylvania thing. Here's another example: I was waiting for my wife to join me at the table for breakfast and she told me to "cut her grapefruit awhile." Meaning that she's coming, but in the meantime I should make myself useful. This is what really sparked the question. |

Is it correct to say “I'm not urgent to do something”? @jwpat7 - I guess in this context I meant - expand the word to its meaning (or at least the particular meaning you are trying to convey). |

Nonplussed defines its own antonym? Ahh, looks like I need to pay more attention to what's right in front of me. Thanks for pointing this out. |
