          some coming event; as a person expects to die, or he
          expects to survive. think and believe have reference
          to the past and present, as well as to the future; as
          i think the mail has arrived; i believe he came home
          yesterday, that he is he is at home now. there is a
          not uncommon use of expect, which is a confusion of
          the two; as, i expect the mail has arrived; i expect
          he is at home. this misuse should be avoided. await is
          a physical or moral act. we await that which, when it
          comes, will affect us personally. we expect what may,
          or may not, interest us personally. see anticipate.
