OP In looking up one word, I noticed on the 'ap' page 'apostatize.' The word was new to me, so I googled it to see the hits: over 17,000. The entries I quickly scanned for about three pages were mostly related to the turning against religious principles, but not always.
I think this is a useful word because there are those times in which we do turn against or cast off our principles, for better or worse. I've never knowingly seen this verb used though it certainly seems to be a fact, an action, of the human condition. And I'm curious about whether many here use it in their own writing and speech.
Edit: For the record, there are no AWAD Board hits here on the search engine, even with Dr. Bill's huculean efforts to bring forth discussion of so many words.
