🎯 Certainly, Without Doubt: Absolutely Sure Idioms 🎟️
Certainly, without doubt; also, I agree. These phrases may seem to be products of the modern era, but they are packed with a profoundly classical punch! 🚀
Dive into History 🕰️
The use of “certainly” and “without doubt” dates back to the late 1500s. For some literary context, John Milton employed it in Paradise Regained (1671):
“Now, now, for sure deliverance is at hand.”
The modern twist, “that’s for sure,” pops up quite evidently and casually in the 20th century. C. Bonington candidly uses it in Annapurna South Face (1971):
“We can’t do it in the next two days.—That’s for sure.”
