[left][/left] VargasVee: English is not a fixed language so with time, words tend to come in more often and become acceptable. These words are commonly called pseudoatonmys
1. FLAMMABLE/INFLAMMABLE
Looking at the above words, first thing that comes to the mind is, one catches fire and the other doesn't. Actually they mean the same thing.
2. BAR/DEBAR
Bar being the act of prohibition, funny enough debar also means the same thing.
3. REGARDLESS/IRREGARDLESS
Regardless, prevailing against odds and circumstances. Irregardless is likely originated from a combination of 'irrespective' and 'regardless' and thus became accepted.
4. HABITABLE/INHABITABLE
Habitable simple implies Suitable to live in. You would think inhabitable was any different, but it means the same thing.
5. GENIUS/INGENIOUS
Everyone has probably heard of genius. Clever, inventive person, and exceptional intellect. Ingenious also implies the same thing.
6. TERMINATE/EXTERMINATE
To terminate, the act of bringing to an end of something. Your guess would be with the prefix of 'ex' there would be difference but it does almost mean the same thing.
7. RESTIVE/RESTLESS
Your first opinion of restive would be in a state of rest, but restive actually means being unable to stay silent or still, thereby restlessness.
8. VALUABLE/INVALUABLE
Valuable means of great worth. Invaluable also means the same thing, being useful and indispensable.
Have a swell day everyone

t33why: Marketer/ Business development executive
Marketer/ sales executive
Marketer/ Sales activator Not really oo They are different Marketing is act of promoting the brand this will continue long after the business development executive has mapped and handed over, and is responsible for keep the brand afloat. Sales executive is a sales force personnel actually the foot soldier. Business development is about introduction of the brand and causing demand is to create the notion of "there is a new sheriff(brand) in town and then deploy sales executive to take over. Then move to develop new Zones. Thank me now! |
