Column 2: Approved meaning/ALTERNATIVES

Approved words

Example:

If a technical name or a technical verb is used in the suggested alternatives, this word is identified as (TN) or (TV). Antonyms are not included in the dictionary.

It is possible that you will see the words “DO (v) or other command verb construction” in this column. This tells you that you must use the verb “to do” with an applicable noun, or the imperative form of the appropriate verb.

Example:

Column 2: Approved meaning/ALTERNATIVES

 

NOTES

For some words, there are notes that tell you to use other approved alternatives or a different construction.

Example:

Word

Approved meaning/ ALTERNATIVES

APPROVED EXAMPLE        Not approved

NOTE: For other meanings, use:

FROM THE TANK.

TURN THE SHAFT AROUND ITS AXIS.

In this example, the only approved meaning of “about” is “concerned with”. The note gives you the approved alternatives for its unapproved meanings.

Where the notes restrict the meaning of approved words (as in ABOUT (prep)), the dictionary gives “approved” and “not approved” examples in column 3 and 4.
