"Forgo" means to do without and "forego" means to go before. Unless you meant that America prefers to "go before" its own history, you made a stupid mistake.<BR/><BR/>Sheesh. Even when the dictionary definitions are in front of your face, you can't understand them.

Your listing only shows that spellings lacking the 'e' DO exist, but they are SECONDARY to the spellings with the 'e'. writerfella uses first-class words in his writings but you seem only to want second-class choices in yours. Thus are writerfella's posts concise and cogent whereas yours sprawl all over the map...<BR/>All Best<BR/>Russ Bates<BR/>'writerfella'writerfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00111681906238053379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-34770596813434917552008-09-06T14:41:00.000-07:002008-09-06T14:41:00.000-07:00I'm always glad to educate less-experienced writer...I'm always glad to educate less-experienced writers on words they don't know.

'Forego' is the preferred spelling of the word, as is that of related words such as 'foregather,' 'foregone,' and 'foregoing.' Now, the words 'fordo, 'fordone,' and 'fordoing' do not have the 'e' but they are of another set of meanings and etiological derivations...<BR/>All Best<BR/>Russ Bates<BR/>'writerfella'writerfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00111681906238053379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-28413451950774527272008-09-05T04:38:00.000-07:002008-09-05T04:38:00.000-07:00Re "someone has enough of a pair to point out that...Re "someone has enough of a pair to point out that America prefers to forget and to forego their own history": Yep, I sure do. I've pointed that out hundreds of times myself as well as posting hundreds of articles pointing it out. No need to thank me; I'm just doing my job.<BR/><BR/>P.S. The word you're struggling to spell is "forgo," not "forego." And the pronoun for the singular noun America is "its," not "their." America prefers to forget and forgo its own history.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-21990250964636438382008-08-31T04:45:00.000-07:002008-08-31T04:45:00.000-07:00Writerfella here -- OMG, someone has enough of...Writerfella here --<BR/> OMG, someone has enough of a pair to point out that America prefers to forget and to forego their own history.
