Topic: What does "Proposal" really mean? | |
---|---|
When someone proposes to you and turns out to be just a promise, how would you feel? A proposal is not a promise, it is simply an offer. That's what I said. Proposal is a proposition. It is an offer. An exchange. Na, na... the proposal is in common English an offer to marry, a proposition is an offer to have sex without marriage. This is the difference of meaning between these two words as they apply to dating and mating. ------ In business they are the same. ------ In political languange, proposition is a proposal to lay something down as a law, and proposal is very close, but it is more closer to "supposal". ------ In thespics, "proposition" is a way that you place a prop, in a certain position, and a proposal is when the director gently gnaws at the young starlet's ears with his mandibles. Its all the same thing. Proposal = proposition. |
