NanakiXIII  +  144839 Wed, 05 Oct 05 03:27 PM I'm pretty sure I know what involuntary means: against ones will or at least not by ones will, as in involuntary manslaughter. However, on a list of words my English teacher handed out to memorize, involuntary is translated as the exact opposite. The given example is 'involuntary work' which they want me to believe is work you does because you want to, of your own free will. I think my teacher just made a mistake, or am I wrong here?
