ridimic1:
ingenuous ; innocent and naive

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 !!

MORE WORDS .....

VAGRANT
VAGABOND
DRIFTER : they all mean the same thing ; [i]AIMLESS ,UNSETTLED,CONTINUALLY CHANGING ESPECIALLY AS
FLOATER FROM ONE ABODE /OCCUPATION TO ANOTHER .
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 !!

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.
