[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t use a word like that in a work email. She might not have misunderstood because she doesn’t know the word and can’t use a dictionary. She might’ve been reading quickly and saw pathetic. She might’ve known what peripatetic means, but the context in which you used it (having to move frequently due to job requirements) sounded negative, or would be assumed to be unpleasant (most people don’t want to have to move frequently for jobs). I think it was likely this last option. [/quote] The recipient of this email has a master’s degree from a top 20 university. I think she probably knows how to use a dictionary. [/quote]
