<syn>Syn. -- To anticipate; look for; await; hope.</syn> -- <usage>To <er>Expect</er>, <er>Think</er>, <er>Believe</er>, <er>Await</er>. <i>Expect</i> is a mental act and has aways a reference to the future, to some coming event; as a person <i>expects</i> to die, or he <i>expects</i> to survive. <i>Think</i> and <i>believe</i> have reference to the past and present, as well as to the future; as I <i>think</i> the mail has arrived; I <i>believe</i> he came home yesterday, that he is he is at home now. There is a not uncommon use of <i>expect</i>, which is a confusion of the two; <as>as, I <ex>expect</ex> the mail has arrived; I <ex>expect</ex> he is at home</as>. This misuse should be avoided. <i>Await</i> is a physical or moral act. We <i>await</i> that which, when it comes, will affect us personally. We <i>expect</i> what may, or may not, interest us personally. See <er>Anticipate</er>.</usage>
