Another word I thought about to take something back is revoke. I'm guessing that revoke only applies to something that was granted by an authority? Also I'm not a big language person, but I definitely like getting my opinion into words and being concise in doing that. Is there a dictionary online that goes into depth about definitions of words? I know dictionary.com often has usage notes to help prevent confusion but they didn't have anything on this for example.

When grouping more than two items, a comma isn't required, but is preferred. For example, I ate three hot dogs, four pizzas, and twenty-two enchiladas today! You can even put a comma after "and," when adding a somewhat separate statement, like this: The mailman left work and, in order to avoid the evil dog, took the long route home. Of course, this might look odd, but really it reflects the intonation of how you'd say the same statement. The best way to know when to use commas or not is by saying the sentence out loud, and including a comma where you use a pause while speaking. (Like I did with this sentence!) Others may have their own opinions; I'd wait to see what they have to say before embracing my thoughts.

I was wondering, what would the relationship be between these two words, rescind and disown? It was just something I personally was curious about, and I have a basic idea of what each word means, but how do they differ? So while they both mean to take back an established "thing" (whether one refers to a statement made and another refers to a relationship I believe), is that really all there is to both? Can they be used interchangeably or one has a broader meaning, etc... The reason I'm asking this question is I'm kinda interested in the word "rescind," cuz it sounds soooo cool! From the context I originally heard it being used in, it was in a game where a hacker organization would "rescind" all knowledge of you as its member if you were caught twice hacking. Or something like that... Anyways thanks!! :D
