So how much do you pay for your car ensurance ?

I don't suppose you understand the difference between alternate and
alternative either ?


The ALTERNATIVE to you understanding this issue is for me to ignore
you for your utter stupidity.

One does not get ensured. Yeah, dumb****, I know that.

You *DO* ? So why did you say insure and ensure mean the same ?


BUT, one can say "Ensure that you handle this problem."

Correct.


AS WELL AS "Insure that you handle this problem."

No. Well you could take out an insurance policy in case of the problem I
guess.


As well as: "Assure that you handle this problem."

That means yet something else still.


In THAT context, either is correct, as well as the third.

And they all mean different things. Unfortunately sloppy US use of English
has confused you.


The etymology is circa 1440, you stupid ****.

That would be the etymology of the word INSURE, and that as being
derived FROM the word ENSURE.

Wanna try again, dip****?

Making up data again cursebot, how lame.
