"visible" versus "feasible"
Monday, January 25, 2016
I needed to see someone and she told me:
"AY, tomorrow won't be visible".
Is anything wrong with that grammatical expression?
Of course! I have noticed that many people say "visible" when they should actually say "feasible".
These are two different words, please!
The expression should have been:
"AY, tomorrow won't be feasible" (not "visible").
Synonyms for "feasible" include "possible", "realistic".
Another example:
I don't think it is feasible for me to come back to Lagos when I get to Abuja tomorrow (not "visible").
I'm sure you now know better.
