Subject: favorit or favored?
Hello world,
How do I dor right:
Here are my favored books
or
here are my favorit books
or
?
Thanks a lot,
Laurent>
sorry for the late reply. using "favorite" would be the most commonly
preferred way to say it in this case. "favored" would also mean the
same thing, but favored is normally used in a more general sense
whereas favorite usually connotes personal opinion. ie, "pepsi is
favored by the majority," vs. "my favorite soft drink is coke".
