"6. NONPLUSSED Feeling a bit (bewildered) after a short trip through language history? That is entirely possible. We've come to the sixth difficult word, another word where a clever prefix is the culprit. Because the -non prefix means 'no', many people misuse the word 'nonplussed' to mean 'not confused' or 'don't care'. In fact, 'nonplussed' means 'bewildered' or 'unable to think of what to think'. Unfortunately, that word is used too often in both ways, at least in written English, it often confuses the writer's intent."
"7. DISINTERESTED Imagine you are in court. What kind of judge would you like in your case? A disinterested (disinterested) judge or an uninterested (disinterested) judge? I hope you choose the first! While a nonchalant judge will yawn and glance at their phone, an impartial judge will be much more likely to listen to all aspects of your case and rule objectively. . Remember: Someone disinterested is unbiased and doesn't take sides, while an uninterested person is someone who doesn't care about something in the first place."
"8. ENORMITY This word is huge! It sounds simple. 'Enormity' is so close in meaning to 'enormous' that they must be synonyms. Right? Wrong! 'Enormity' means 'extremely cruel' in a shameful, medieval or tyrannical manner. Therefore, the special expression often used "the enormity of the situation..." is incorrect. (Unless, in fact, you're actually talking about a criminal act. Which we don't want at all!)"
"9. LIEUTENANT A military term to confuse us! This word is an example of the different pronunciations “transatlantic” or between the US and the UK. In British English, the word is pronounced leftenant, while in the US you'll hear loo-tenant. Whereas both places keep the same spelling – you know, just to make it interesting! – the American pronunciation is heard more and more often in other English speaking countries."
"10. UNABASHED What role is the prefix playing in an unfamiliar word like “abash”? Well, while "abash" does exist (it means embarrassed or confused), it hasn't been in widespread use for centuries. On the other hand, the negative version, unabashed, is used today and means "without shame". So next time you're practicing English, speak to an unabashed enthusiam (an unabashed enthusiasm)!"
