Create and grow your future fast, with smeft
Result - Oriented
You can be oriented towards or away from all sorts of things, not only geographic ones. For example, if you like sports, you might be called sports-oriented. If politics is your thing, then you're politically oriented. For millennia, people have used the North Star to orient themselves, because it's always in the same place in the sky.
On budget and on time
From the Middle French bougette, the noun budget translated to “leather pouch” when it was first used in the early 15th century. Perhaps a leather pouch to hold gold coins? It wasn’t until 1733 that the word took on the more specific financial meaning it has nowadays. You can budget all sorts of things, including time, money, and energy.
Fast work turnover
If an economist is talking about turnover, she probably means the rate at which a business loses employees, or how many jobs they have to fill over the course of a year. If that same economist is placing an order at a bakery, she may instead mean the flaky, triangle-shaped pastry that's wrapped around a fruit filling.
Continuous Workflow
Continuous things don’t stop, not even for a coffee break. A continuous sheet of ice has no cracks, a continuous noise never pauses, and a continuous line of railroad is the kind you want if you’re on a train. Continual, on the other hand, is used to describe things that start and stop occasionally. Use continuous for anything that goes on and on.
Devoted Development
Being devoted doesn’t have to refer only to personal relationships. It can focus on any area, activity, or passion. Cookbooks are devoted to presenting recipes, dog breeders are usually devoted to one specific type of dog, and tabloids are devoted to gossiping about celebrities. There’s nothing wrong with being devoted to an activity or a person, as long as you don’t lose track of everything else in your life. That’s when being devoted crosses over into being obsessed.
Let’s work together on your next superb project
Start by noticing that superb contains super, and you’re more than halfway to remembering its meaning. The only real difference between super and superb (besides the letter “b”) is that something superb is surprisingly or especially excellent. A taco that tastes great might be super. But if it’s among the very best tacos you’ve ever eaten, it’s superb. Dinner tonight? Super! How was dinner? It was superb!
