ridimic1: Thank you for this . I was just going through the words on this thread in my office this morning and i was shocked when i saw that. I ASSUMED YOU WERE WRONG COS I FELT YOU MADE A MISTAKE WITH THE WORD AND ITS MEANING. This is what i know before now : Ingenious : clever,cunning,adroit. I had to look up my mobile dictionary to see if the word does exist and its meaning different and YES, IT DIFFERS !! Ingenuous : innocent,naive,naif,artless In a way, i 'ld take them as word and antonym cos Ingenious could mean cunning,artful and skilful with Ingenuous meaning the opposite. Thank you for bringing my attention to this !! 1 Like |

BUM one last word for us all to ponder on for the day- Dicker[i]:- to bargain ;to argue over prices. ~~ Mnemonic : I'm sure you dont expect me to give in to that ridiculous price of rice without dickering, do you ?[/i] [color=#550000]Do have a pleasant day fellows !! |

Aiit tolu...I also saw the difference and I should have noted the difference here. Thanks for your observation. Anyone who is having difficulty in the verbal especially the vocab should check out "magoosh" o That book made me know my preparation style has been BS. Please, endeavor to do this. tolutweety: |

Na so o. I have got just two schools that are aligned with my interests after over two months of intensifying search. I just checked your profile and saw that you have an electrical engineeringbackground. Maybe you might like a program I came across(telecomms-based). In Uni of Maryland College park. I heard the program is quite auspicious. I have been searching for computer science/IT/software project management programs and finding profs in that area for MSc is rare. Maybe we could chat on facebook if you are ok with that. tolutweety: |
