Looking for a word
« on: July 12, 2005, 01:39:26 PM »
Is there a verb that means "to consider (something) a priority"?

Like, "Cleaning is a priority to me -> I consider cleaning a priority -> I _____ cleaning."

I can't think of something. The closest I can get is prioritize, but that means to rank in order or priority.
You underestimate my ability to take things seriously!

Yeah, I kept trying prioritize too, and it just isn't quite what I want.

How about "splunge"?

"Value"?

I hope you have a wonderful adventure in Taiwan. Not a swashbuckling adventure, just a prawn flavored pringles adventure.

Yeah, it means "to consider (something) a priority", but it's not "prioritize", and not quite "value".

And I'm not being a yes man!
