However, has anyone come across this word used in any sentence anywhere?<br /><br />Of late, I have seen the word UNSURPRISED uses especially in the US. Won't a simple I'm not surprised do ? LIke in your story, why can't it be that Sneha's stepmother does not have any LOVE lost for her? To me, the syntax doesn't gell well using UNBELOVED ! One has to be a BELOVED of someon first to be later be made UNBELOVED. MY opinion only. English and especially Americanized Engish is very funny peculiar !! <br /><br />Any way, our blog is very BELOVED to me and no one dare UNBELOVED it here !! raju umamaheswarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07107883886526369417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-37940099116272799202016-07-15T18:08:25.013+05:302016-07-15T18:08:25.013+05:30CorrectedCorrectedDeepak Gopinathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06337043600355573557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-90649859890163571732016-07-15T17:36:59.630+05:302016-07-15T17:36:59.630+05:30It is a regular sentence marred by an irregular ac...It is a regular sentence marred by an irregular act and the fact that the statutory indication of Sneha Helpline no. was not furnished!

Himself a writer of no mean credentials (he will hark back to his Nairobi days), why he cannot attempt putting in a sentence a word that tickles him no end is beyond my comprehension. Be that as it may, the invitation of Raju, a good fiend of mine (I have visited him in his Coimbatore home twice), cannot be ignored. So I shall try to fulfil his desire.<br />I know what a sentence is. But I really don't know what a regular sentence is. I shall leave it to my gentle reader to decide whether what I am about to write is a regular sentence or irregular. Please do tell me.<br />The twenty-something girl, whose English was below par as she had only studied in a remote rural college, did not meet with approval when she used it in her job at a technological firm in the big city; fearing that she might face the ignominy of losing her job, and thinking that she might undergo further misery when she went back home, where she felt she was unbeloved by her stepmother, she hanged herself from the ceiling fan of her hostel room.Chaturvasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00284780490945841507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2195377761774996603.post-61777462214538475512016-07-15T14:34:11.405+05:302016-07-15T14:34:11.405+05:30I am back to doing crosswords after a week.
