That's Not What I Meant.
I loved the word Sanction ever since the day I learned it had two definitions that were exact opposites;
1. To encourage or tolerate by indicating approval.
2. To penalize, especially for violating a moral principle or international law.
Today I found another, Oversight;
1. An unintentional omission or mistake.
2. Watchful care or management; supervision.
Anyone got any others?
