Page 3: Tactful, tentative, Literary and Rhetorical language

Tactful means to be sensitive, to avoid

hurting other people’s feeling.

This is very important when you are

giving bad news, introducing a

negative topic or criticizing someone.

e.g.

If you are tactful, you wouldn’t tell your

friend that food was awful in his

wedding, you’d talk about interesting

people you met and about the great

decoration.

II. Or it can be mostly developed.

Micheal Jackson.

Someone might just have murdered

MJ.

All interpretations made by a scientist are hypotheses, and all hypotheses are tentative. They must forever be tested and they must be revised if found to be unsatisfactory. Hence, a change of mind in a scientist, and particularly in a great scientist, is not only not a sign of weakness but rather evidence for continuing attention to the respective problem and an ability to test the hypothesis again and again.

— Ernst Mayr
