Message: [QUOTE="Floyd Davidson, post: 1689469"] I doubt the extent of your English vocabulary. A quick check in any dictionary should show that "doubt", used as a transitive verb, means "question", and indeed "question" will be listed as a synonym and/or as either part of the definition or in the usage of the word. Apparently this is less common today than it was historically, because of the dictionaries that I did look at, newer ones use it vaguely, "... to consider questionable ..." while older dictionaries are more explicit, "doubt v.t. 1) to be uncertain about; question; feel distrust of. ..." This last from a 1968 edition. [/QUOTE]
