I often have doubts.  But now I am doubting my doubts.  I guess I am redoubtable.

You may have your doubts, but clearly, I am the most redoubtable.

As soon as it was said that parenting was 'def' redoubtable for her, I decided silly was the new word of the day.

If we wanted to really be wordwise, we would use the word 'definitely' or something.

"What's that?"

"Well, it's a pronoun used to refer to objects not in close proximity. But "that" isn't important right now."

Proper use of redoubtable:

"Having doubted Jesus in his first life, when Thomas heard that Jesus had risen from the dead, he realized that Jesus was now redoubtable."

You know, this word-wise answers a question I had about Rise of Nations. Fortresses eventually upgraded to a building called a 'Redoubt' and I always wondered what the heck that meant. JoeUser rocks.

Well, if it's fun then you're more likely to remember what you learned. In other words, it makes learning less redoubtable.

In the face of it, escaping from prison would prove redoubtable.

It could be worthy of honor...and perhaps even formidable...especially after some spicy foods.

...but out of thousands of students, could you ever find me? Bwahaha!

He's the one too big to mess with.

Actually, it would not be hard.  She would just have to look for the one that looks intelligent among all the slack jaws there.
