Very quickly 'Unkept' is an English word which many( if not most) of us have been using wrongly from childhood but never realized. We use it to mean 'UNTIDY' e.g. This room is 'unkept'. Well, the word 'unkept' actually means "not kept"; for example one could say: You have 'unkept' your promises; this would mean 'you have 'not kept' your promises'. The actual word which means 'untidy' is 'unkempt' So, now you can say: This room is 'unkempt', as the former use of the word is incorrect. I hope we learn from this. |
