AUGER/AUGUR
An augur was an ancient Roman prophet, and as a verb the word means “foretell”-“their love augurs well for a successful marriage.” Don’t mix this word up with “auger,” a tool for boring holes. Some people mishear the phrase “augurs well” as “all goes well” and mistakenly use that instead.
