[vovan]

Well, I traditionally guess O, so that sounds as good a guess as ... u at this point.

[joncha]

Over to vovan.

[Paddy]

interesting

you had me stumped old chap

what does Orate mean please ?

[DrSpike]

To speak, especially as in deliver a speech of some kind.

[Paddy]

hmmm, I thought Oratory was to speak, the art of skill of public speaking

also an Oration is a formal speech

and thus an Orator is the one who delivers the above

not trying to be picky, just trying to learn

never heard / seen Orate before

Is this a word used a lot in your lands?




edit: looked it up in my dictionary - not there

looked it up on Word, there it is

ahhh the wonders of the English Language

is it true that you spell Night - "Nite" in the USofA?

Well, I mean, oratory is an adjective. The verb form of that is to orate.
