"lends" or "provides" credibility ?

["Monique Semp" <monique -dot- semp -at- earthlink -dot- net>]

Hello, wordsmiths,

I think the common phrase is âlends credibilityâ, but I tend to internalize that as âtemporarily providingâ credibility (because âlendingâ isnât a permanent gift), and certainly thatâs not whatâs typically meant!

So am I just off the wall with wanting to avoid the âlends credibilityâ phrase? If not, then what might you suggest as an alternative?

Just wondering,
-Monique
