A quick definition of give:

Term: GIVE

Definition: Give means to give something to someone else without expecting anything in return. For example, if you give your friend a toy, you are giving it to them as a gift. Give can also mean to offer something for someone else to consider, like when a witness gives testimony in court. Sometimes, a group of people called a jury will give a decision in a court case, like giving someone a punishment or awarding money to someone who was wronged.

A more thorough explanation:

give, verb

  1. To transfer something to someone else without expecting anything in return. For example, "Jack gave his daughter a car on her birthday."
  2. To grant or provide something through a formal process. For example, "The First Amendment gives all citizens the right to free speech."
  3. To offer or present something for consideration. For example, "The witness gave compelling testimony before the jury."
  4. (Of a jury) to impose or award something through a verdict. For example, "The jury gave the defendant the death penalty" or "The jury gave the plaintiff $1,000 in damages."

These examples illustrate how "give" can be used in different contexts. In the first example, Jack voluntarily transferred ownership of the car to his daughter as a gift. In the second example, the First Amendment grants citizens the right to free speech through a formal process. In the third example, the witness presented their testimony for the jury to consider. In the fourth example, the jury imposed a sentence or awarded damages through their verdict.

I wish that wearing a mask when sick stuck around as an okay thing like it is in the rest of the world, not all of us have enough sick days to be ditching work.

One manager came in sick wearing a mask, got roasted and stopped wearing it that day. The entire office has been cycling sickness for two weeks now. It may not be super effective but it may help in slowing the spread during meetings when we have to be so close
