Some Eureka words.....!!!!

By Ranjana.S.

• Unequivocal or unequivocable:

Unequivocal means there isn't a slightest doubt and that something is crystal clear.

The members of the board accepted the unequivocal decision.

Although you may hear it in your circle unequivocable can't be found in the dictionary, because there is no such word.

• Board:

How do we say-The board has not yet come.

The board have not yet come.

Both are correct, however you can't have it both the ways and quote--" The board has not communicated their decision". If you use has, it has to be followed by "its decision".

When we talk about individual members of the board....the word gets plural:

"The boards are unable to reach to a conclusion".

"The board is dining together".

•  Gobbledygook:

It is believed that President Roosevelt introduced this word. This word is much used in the US and in the UK as well.

This word basically attacks the official and academic writing or speaking that is confounding owing to the use of polysyllables--using too many long words.

• May or Might:

May refers to the present and future-might refers to the past.

It may rain today.

It might have rained yesterday.

Might is also used conversationally to suggest in a polite or aggressive manner something, to compel someone to do something.

While you go shopping, you might pick up the vegetables.

You might help your miffed wife in cooking.......trusted tip for marital bliss :)
