I notice you snipped out the rest of that definition as I got > mine from the very same page. It matters diddly how much of the definition of "hypothecate" I snipped, given that the part I didn't snip (clause 2 above) is (a) the relevant definition when talking about hypothecation of taxes; (b) not a definition it shares with the word "hypothesize". The two words are not the same as each other. Hope this helps. Don't hesistate to ask if you have any other questions -dan

He had paint tins and brushes and carried an advert with his name and phone number. I thought it was quite a good idea.
