Verb only?[edit]

Why only a verb? Isn't it possible to be fulfilled?

Example:

You'll be happy and fulfilled and useful to others.

American spelling[edit]

Why is only "fulfil" marked as UK spelling. "Fulfill" should be marked as US spelling! —DIV (120.18.224.221 02:16, 11 March 2019 (UTC))Reply

Is there any difference between fulfilling a request, accommodating a request, and satisfying a request?[edit]

I think fulfilling implies completely meeting all elements of the request, whereas the others allow for less that complete meeting of the request. 'Accommodating seems to me to suggest that normal policy or practice was violated in responding to the request. Others may not agree. DCDuring (talk) 21:09, 11 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
