Ways to tell them apart:
- "Vouch" typically refers to supporting or endorsing someone's character, actions, or honesty based on personal experience.
- "Avow" is used when someone openly declares or admits something, usually about their beliefs or feelings.
- Both words involve a form of commitment or endorsement, but vouch is more about supporting others, while avow is about proclaiming one's own beliefs or truths.
- Remember that avow often involves a sense of personal declaration, while vouch includes standing up for someone else's integrity.
- Vouch starts with the same letter as verify, which can help you associate it with confirming someone else's character.
