Hello.

Let's pretend that I'm writting an essay and I want to start a sentence with phrase "I dare suppose". I know "I dare say", but I think it's incorrect write "say" when I'm writting :), so I want to use "suppose" instead of "say". What do you think?

I dare suppose you could use that term if you wanted, but there's no problem with "I dare say ..." in writing.

I dare suppose sounds natural to me.
