I found the following interesting site in the Internet. Have you ever visited it?
WordReference Forums http://forum.wordreference.com/
“The WordReference Forums Mission Statement and Guidelines” prescribes that there should be “No chatting.”
I haven’t used the WordReference forum, but I know that Berta swears by it. I’ll have a look one of these days.
Does “swear by” mean “to announce one’s full faith and trust in something?”
@ tora-san Yes, although it is generally used as just another way of saying that one thinks it’s excellent, one likes it.
