When someone proposes to you and turns out to be just a promise, how would you feel?


A proposal is not a promise, it is simply an offer.


That's what I said.

Proposal is a proposition. It is an offer. An exchange.





Na, na... the proposal is in common English an offer to marry, a proposition is an offer to have sex without marriage. This is the difference of meaning between these two words as they apply to dating and mating.

In business they are the same.

In political languange, proposition is a proposal to lay something down as a law, and proposal is very close, but it is more closer to "supposal".

------

In thespics, "proposition" is a way that you place a prop, in a certain position, and a proposal is when the director gently gnaws at the young starlet's ears with his mandibles.




Its all the same thing.

Proposal = proposition.
