Phrase | initial |
Text | In this podcast, the verb "to initial" means to write the first letters of one's first, middle, and last name, usually to show that one agrees with something: "The bank employee initialed the check before giving the customer his money." One's "initials" are the first letters of one's first, middle, and last name when they are written together: "Wally Hou wrote his initials, W.H., on all his books so that he could find them if they got lost." The word "initial" also means first, or earliest: "His initial reaction was anger, but then he calmed down." The adverb, "initially," means at first, or in the beginning: "Initially, this company had just one office, but now it has offices in almost every state." |
