Use "visualise". We "envisage" events not things/people.

I learned a new word today. I've never envisaged anything in my life before. I've envisioned a number of things, but never envisaged.

Thanks for the post!

I've never "envisioned" anything. So I've learned a new word too.

I've just discovered that "visualise" is a (relatively) recent word, 1817, and was possibly coined by Coleridge.

I haven't seen or heard this word before as well and have found it useful.
So my like goes to the threadstarter ;-)

I wonder if it's Pondial then. The US folks envision and the UK folks envisage?

Anyway - I love adding new words to my vocabulary!

If he wasn't there, then you could visualise(in your mind) his face in the mirror.
