But I think here understatement would be much better. Thanks for taking time to read my blog in such detail and pointing out the error. :-)<BR/>P. S. I'm still wondering who you are. ;-)Abhinavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15760314837510920601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6551259077653494861.post-8185624729989036032007-12-30T18:00:00.000+05:302007-12-30T18:00:00.000+05:30Absolutely interesting read.

Continued visits to your blog is my way of paying tribute to your talent.But can you check something for me?"To say i was relieved would be an euphemism".Consider that again.Does that sound right?"To say i was knackered/ tired would be an euphemism".And consider this statement too.Euphemism, i thought, in simple terms is "underplaying a bad situation". The word "relieved" denotes a positive meaning and probably the word euphemism should be substituted by the word "understatement" or similar. As i say, i am not sure. Just felt obliged to direct the question. Would love to know if euphemism could be used in the way you did!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
