Also, what does the word 'neo' mean possibly as in here. neo-classical age,     neoconservative Anonymous

	CalifJim  +  516370 Wed, 21 May 08 05:56 AM foreordained is the same as preordained.  I believe I've heard preordained much more often in that context. none other than can be used with people and things.  I opened the door, and it was none other than my long lost uncle.  nothing other than is only for things. neo- is a prefix meaning new.   It often has to do with reviving ideas or customs from a previous time in history, but it can be anything new.
