INVITEE And OPPORTUNED Are Not Standard English Words.Why Not Use These Instead? by facenglish: 7:08pm On Feb 21, 2018
OPPORTUNED and INVITEE(S) do not exist in standard English dictionaries.learn from the following examples:

1. I waited, hoping for an opportune moment to discuss the possibility of a raise.(not OPPORTUNED)

2. The law reforms were opportune and important.(not OPPORTUNED)

3.Only welcome/invite guests are allowed inside the Banquet Hall.(not INVITEE(S)

Facenglish: the word opportune can only be used as an adjective. It can never be used as a verb. The word invitee(s) on the other hand does not exist. However, invitee is found in few American English dictionaries such as Mariam Webster dictionary. Most linguists disagree with the gradual acceptance of INViTEE
