Grammar question - Fireburn - 10-13-2008
Is 'offering' the same word as 'asking'?
I think offering is not asking, so I vote option 1.

Clear.

No. Of course not.

The word invitation is a synonym for offer, which just so happens to be synonyms with the word request which, of course, means ask. Good fight, though.

You're overthinking this. Offering is the complete opposite of requesting.

If I offer you some bread, I want me to give some bread to YOU.
If I am requesting some bread, I want you to give some bread to ME.
