English, verb[edit]
I have never encountered the word to mean lust, desire or pleasure. I cannot find any references to it meaning this. Its main use is as a conjunction and have have not heard of any of the other uses, however,they at least seem plausable. Ksbrown 13:34, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- OK. I searched several dictionaries, including the full OED, and have removed all bad definitions. SemperBlotto 13:46, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

"in order that the subjunctive be avoided where it is uncommon" Obviously isn't much of an issue. --91.84.200.229 21:19, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
