In the headline (from The Telegraph newspaper online):
Enforcing local lockdown on Bolton could cause
'unrest', Matt Hancock warned
does this mean that Matt Hancock (he's the British Government's Chief Health Minister) warned others that this might happen? Or was he warned by someone else?
Well, don't ask me, I didn't read the piece. There didn't seem much point. I mean, taking offence is so fashionable that almost anything could cause unrest.
And, usually, does, too.
Word To Use Today: warn. This word is warnian in Old English and is related to the Old Norse word varna, to refuse.
