I guess there's a difference between expect as in "given my experience and what I understand of physics and the world and whatever else I know, this action will most likely have that result."

and expect as in "this action is going to have that result and nothing will stop it no matter what."

Mine is reasonable and the long-time concept that's been around seems to have the latter definition of expectation.

No one said there were guarantees.

I expected my husband to honor our wedding vows like I do, and all of a sudden he doesn't. [censored] for me. But to have gone 18 years not expecting him to, well I wouldn't have felt married and what would have been the point of it?

I expect to be at work tomorrow but a meteor could hit and we'd all be stardust. Should I plan on playing hooky?

Semantics, huh?
