    1. I saw it in the dictionary I looked at.These posts are proving very popular.People like to learn if they can choose how to do it.I knew many of the words but inchoate I had not known really so I like it too,:)

  2. I spent a lot of my time, when working, writing synopses of long meetings – quite enjoyed it!
