| Episode Title | Annulling a Marriage |
| Phrase | of (one's) own free will |
| Text | The phrase "of (one's) own free will," in this podcast, means by choice, without being forced or pressured to do something by another person: "Why would anyone wear that ugly shirt of their own free will?" The phase "at will" means whenever and however a person wants, even without an explanation: "Can employees quit at will, or do they have to give two weeks' notice?" The word "will" can refer to a person's strong desire to do something: "Do you think he has the political will to follow through on his campaign promises?" Finally, the phrase "where there's a will, there's a way" is used to encourage others, meaning that if one wants something enough, one will find a way to make it happen: "Nobody believed her business would succeed, but she proved that where there's a will, there's a way." |
