peer agreement (net): +5to occur, materialize, happen, be reali(s/z)ed, manifest themselves etc. Explanation: I like the "fully manifest themselves" the best, but the "fully" part is already implied at the beginning of the sentence, so you want to scrap that bit so that it reads "...have yet to manifest themselves." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 7 mins (2012-07-24 13:01:23 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- As for a grammatical note, it's being used here in the intransitive sense.
