Re: is it just me... (4.00 / 3)

I think it says something that there isn't a single verb in English that means "to tell the truth."

That I can think of. Is there?

Re: is it just me... (4.00 / 2)

Any English noun or adjective can be used as a verb:

He is a liar = He lies He speaks the truth = He truths

ATinNM truths, however, he's never heard that use before.
