Although I deeply appreciate your concerns for my English skills, I
fortunately or unfortunately must inform you that you are sadly
mistaken about my two mistakes.
According to the Concise Oxford Dictionary (9th edition) the
word "limpid" means the following:
"Limpid" has nothing to do with being limp or limping.
According to the same dictionary "unpretending" is a very valid
word, meaning "unpretentious". The two words are synonyms.
Although it is true that the previous months have seen little of my
presence on this forum - for which I am truly sorry, but the days
are too short, too short - I've still read enough Sri Aurobindo to
know a few really expensive words!
Dear Niriha,
Although I deeply appreciate your concerns for my English skills, I
fortunately or unfortunately must inform you that you are sadly
mistaken about my two mistakes.
According to the Concise Oxford Dictionary (9th edition) the
word "limpid" means the following:
1. (of water, eyes, etc.) clear, transparent
2. (of writing) clear and easily comprehended
"Limpid" has nothing to do with being limp or limping.
According to the same dictionary "unpretending" is a very valid
word, meaning "unpretentious". The two words are synonyms.
Although it is true that the previous months have seen little of my
presence on this forum - for which I am truly sorry, but the days
are too short, too short - I've still read enough Sri Aurobindo to
know a few really expensive words!
No hard feelings whatsoever.
Best wishes,
Abhinabha
