Inflection? No one uses that word in speaking vocabulary. What is her question? Is she looking to throw him off balance?
I’m an English major. I teach high school English I had to look it up
I know it means a stressed sound on a syllable in a word
What does she want him to say I don’t know what that word is?
It’s a graph term. You’re rate of increase may be steady for awhile — but at a certain point it may suddenly rise more steeply, or begin to suddenly drop. That’s an inflection point. Trump has been (at least a little) a glitz candidate. But as his ideas are put into detailed plans, people may change their view of him — they may like him more, they may like him less.
Marketers understand inflection points. Trump would have no confusion about that question.
Jeez, I messed up “your” and “you’re”. Mea culpa!
Inflection point is a mathematical term often used as a metaphor for a sudden change in direction.
Excellent observation, because “words have meaning.”
I am not an native English speaker and I knew the word. Damned American education system. Heck I knew the word inflection in 5th grade, but I was a voracious reader and my mother did me make me copy pages from the dictionary as punishment. I suggest Freepers copy my mothers punishment system. It really sucks for the kid but does them a world of good.
I swear I have in excess of 65000 words in my common vocabulary, and have a grasp of 2 to 3 times that. I was rather naughty ;-)
