How untoward is that?
I don't know why, but suddenly I've been seeing the word "untoward" mentioned more and more, from flirt-laced blogs to news about former Congressmen and former CIA big shots accused of corruption, prostitution, etc. It looks it's the new trendy word - is it "ubiquitous?"
Frankly, my rather slim English vocabulary did not have this word in it - the fact that English is not my native tongue could be a reason for it. So I do thank everyone who mentioned this word for helping me expand my vocabulary.
What I don't understand is: what is wrong with using "improper?"
