I don't like the word "timeliness". It's not just that it's awkward. It's because it's spelled the same as "timelines" with an extra "s". So I'm reading along and I don't know how to pronounce the word until I get to the end.
Unfortunately, I have no solution to offer. Does anyone know a good synonym for either "timeliness" or "timelines" so we can stop using one of those words?
I don't want to set timelines for your reply, but timeliness could help me improve my writing sooner.
the irrelevance of time instead of timeliness, but then if it impertinent and not present, why even use it unless.....one means endurance or infiniteness
ReplyDeleteAs to timelines-is that even one word? A word from the office and project management. Time duration or scale is a better word.
But as Fowler said, "usage determines correctness".
