by Structured Settlement Watchdog™
Some misguided soul has posted a web page which states, in pertinent part, that "Structured settlements are essentially "oscillating" payments "prefabricated" to a consumer as a termination of a individualized trauma lawsuit".
Merriam Webster dictionary defines "oscillating" and "prefabricated" as follows:
Oscillating– to swing backward and forward like a pendulum; to vary above and below a mean value
Prefabricated-to produce artificially, to fabricate the parts at a factory so that construction consists mainly of assembling and uniting standardized parts
Comments:
- Neither of the two terms applies to structured settlements.
- The word "terminate" is not usually associated with lawsuit. The words "settlement", "dismissal", "withdrawal" and "discontinuance" are.
- Do your research! Turning out drivel is not the way to earn credibility as a writer.
The beauty of wordsmithing may be lost if what you are saying is incorrect.
