Not sure why you are mocking the statement I made though. Both words come directly from Latin, the base word being "verto" meaning "I turn". Adding the prefix "ad" meaning "to" or "toward" of course gives the meaning of literaly turing toward something or figuratively being in agreement. Adding the prefix "a(b)" adds "away to the verb. Thus avert means to turn something away or more figuratively to avoid a situation. There, more info than any fat sheet ever

Actually I agree with Nick on his handicapping, say what you want but Fat Man is one of the better handicappers around these parts.
