Reconcile to, reconcile with ... which is correct? #1 (permalink) Mon Mar 09, 2009 16:28 pm   Reconcile to, reconcile with ... which is correct?
 

Hello everybody. I'm not quite sure which of these phrases is correct "I've reconciled smth to smth else etc." or "I've reconciled smth with smth else etc.".
I would appreciate any help.
