Usage of unbounding #1 (permalink) Fri Aug 03, 2007 6:33 am   Usage of unbounding		  
Quote:
With confidence in our armed forces, with the unbounding determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph. So help us God.

This is a speech by F.D. Roosevelt.

I was only able to find the definition of "unbounded" in dictionaries. Is "unbounding" OK, or is it a flub where he should have said "unbounded"?

You should apologize to FDR... #3 (permalink) Mon Jun 08, 2009 3:39 am   You should apologize to FDR...		  
The word was correctly used by President FDR -- it is "unbounded," not "unbounding."
The mistake was yours -- one misquoted FDR, and the other blamed him for "flubbing" it -- you folks have some NERVE!!!

John, go to the wikipedia article for the "Infamy Speech." There you will find an audio file that contains the entire speech. Go to the 5:55 mark and give it a listen. FDR most definitely said "unbounding," which is a mistake on his part. It's ok, people make mistakes all the time, and saying FDR made one here does not in any way diminish the impact of the speech or his legacy
