there is an example that is *barely* acceptable. You attach a document to be signed by someone and ask them to revert the document once signed.

Revert = Reply  (X)
Revert = Return something (acceptable?)

any english gurus or grammar nazis care to comment?
sounds good too!
*
Without looking at dictionary, both are not suitable and flat out incorrect..

Revert are more like, return to the previous state/condition/situation?
