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!!!
