Cynopsis: Classified
Advantage
10/18/11
Good morning – it’s Tuesday, October 18, 2011, and this is your weekly issue of Cyn opsis: Classified Advantage!
Whenever I write an article on grammar, I receive a lot of mail asking for more. Wish granted.
Sometime v. Some time
Sometime is the more indefinite term as in, “I’ll see you sometime later.” Some time is more definitive, as in, “I’ll see you some time next week.”
Request v. Ask
Save the word request for formal occasions, use ask in more casual communications.
So v. Very
You made me so angry. How angry is that? It’s hard to tell, especially in written form. Using very, rather than so, in most cases will communicate your feelings more precisely.
Reticent v. Hesitant
Technically speaking, reticent is defined as disposed to be silent or not speak freely. Hesitant usually refers to being reluctant to do something, like ski down a double black diamond slope.
Replete v. Complete
Replete is to be full or overflowing and though complete can, at times, be used the same way, it’s better to stick with complete when you have a choice.
Collaborate v. Corroborate
When you work with someone, you collaborate. When people strengthen your story by confirming it, it’s corroborate.
Imply v. Infer
Imply is to suggest without being explicit, infer is to derive by reasoning, to conclude or judge, based on evidence.
Submittal v. Submission
Submittal is the act of submitting, submission is the item you have submitted.
Everyone v. Every one
Everyone means everybody in a group. Every one refers to all the individuals within a group. Everyone is finally here. I wish to thank every one of you.
Chose v. Choose
Chose is past tense, choose is the present.
Therefor v. Therefore
Therfor is an archaic legal term, so use therefore when you mean as a result or consequently.
Dialogue v. Discuss
To use Dialogue as a verb is technically wrong, though becoming more common. To have a dialogue or to discuss a subject is correct.
Upmost v. Utmost
Upmost is defined as uppermost, referring to something on top. Utmost means to the greatest degree or amount.
Everyday v. Every day
Everyday is an adjective, every day is an adverbial phrase. If you do something seven days a week, you do it every day.
Hyphens v. Dashes
Hyphens tend to link elements together, dashes separate them.
Infact
Always two words.
Everytime
See above.
Respond back.
Respond means to answer, so adding back becomes redundant. I receive so many emails that anxiously wait for me to respond back, it might be better to simply write, awaiting your reply.
Very unique
Unique is one of a kind, a sole example of. Nothing can be very one of a kind. Drop the very, unique says it all.
In regard to
In regard to, though technically correct, is a bit awkward. Replace it with regarding.
Next Issue: Things to do before an Interview
We are always on the look out for more Experts to advise our readers – if you’re a headhunter, job coach, career advisor, etc., and may be interested in contributing to this edition from time to time, please contact me at [email protected] .
Now and then we all need a helping hand, so wouldn’t it be good to know that with a little judicious application of non-verbal communication we could increase the chances of getting that help when we need it?
Psychologists have discovered that people respond better to requests for help when the person doing the asking engages them with a light touch on the upper arm.
We’re not talking about the politician’s grasping of the bicep or elbow when shaking hands here, or indeed anything more intrusive or threatening than a slight touch with the fingertips on an area around midway between the elbow and the shoulder, on the outside of the arm, generally lasting no more than a matter of a second or two.
In field studies it was found that making a request (and the requests in these studies ranged from asking for a dime on the street to asking people for a dance in a nightclub) accompanied by the lightest of touches to the upper arm had, on average, around a 20% better chance of gaining a positive response than the same request without the touch.
Put this into the context of the workplace and you will see that there are a huge number of circumstances in which an increased chance of help or support might be of value. For example, when making a proposal for which you might benefit from some additional support, asking for that support along with the all-important touch on the arm could well get you the help you need.
I tested this myself with a client who was tasked with having his print job rushed through, despite having several other jobs lined up ahead of him. He approached the print manager, asked that his work be prioritized – touched him gently on the upper arm and despite a couple of token grumbles, had his print request completed straight away.
I know that this test isn’t scientific – just one sample – but what I didn’t tell you was that the same guy had similar requests turned down repeatedly by the same print manager, and in fact had NEVER been given priority in the print queue in three years of asking!
Use this knowledge wisely…and don’t tell anyone I told you!

Is Google Plus another social media I have to join to network? How does it differ from the others? Will it help me get a job?
Yes, Google Plus is another social network (I nearly wrote ‘yet another’ there, but stopped myself in time). How does it differ from the rest? Well, that remains to be seen.
Any social network platform such as Google Plus, Facebook, LinkedIn etc. is just that: a platform. It provides a means by which you can communicate with and build your network. It isn’t a network in and of itself. Therefore it’s up to the users to decide collectively whether and how it differs from any other such platform.
Facebook has evolved into something which is primarily non-business (though of course business is done there, and not just through advertising), while LinkedIn is principally seen as a business network forum, and people deal with it as such, though there’s still social communication going on there.
Google Plus is too new and fresh to have its users define its focus, but I would suggest that it’ll end up being about social rather than business networking.
A final word: No matter how global a phenomenon social networking is, nothing will get you noticed as fast and as effectively as real, face-to-face networking. Use your online presence to learn about and to book yourself into appropriate gatherings of real people in real places.
And no…you don’t have to join any social network site to be successful. Until employers ask you to put your social media affiliations on your application, you can choose what sites you join or not join.
Is it difficult to get a job in Europe now, if I am from the United States? I hear about the economic woes, and I was wondering what the job market is like and if companies are even considering Americans for job positions.
Getting a job in Europe is tough no matter where you come from, and no matter what the economic climate. Just because it’s tough doesn’t mean it’s impossible. It just means that if you are good enough to land the job, then you will, no matter where you come from.
As for the woes don’t believe everything you hear on Fox News. It’s no different in Europe than in the USA. The whole world owes money to the rest of the whole world, but the whole world keeps turning all the same, and programs are made and watched, new stuff is commissioned, people are employed. All that’s changed (in my view) is that some employers are using financial hardship (real or imagined) as an excuse to cut down on staffing and to make people work harder, but this is just rationalization, and this goes on at some level all the time, regardless of the greater economic picture.
If you want to come to Europe, and you can do your thing better than the next person then you are as attractive a proposition to an employer as anyone.
