Proper Words

Prince Williams was interviewed re granny 90th. They were talking about her being so (he said acute re the cutlery dining area) I am saying he should have said "astute" - any answers out there.

[Jackdaw33]

Acute means sharp so why not?

[SIRandyraven]

Don't the Royals ever get bored telling each other how wonderfully they are ?
Oh and giving each other medals and titles for being born royal.

[hereIam]

I think astute would have been better.

[Islay]

Were you lip reading or reading subtitles? They could be wrong it's difficult to give you an answer without seeing the interview-do you have a link?

[Mamyalynne]

I'd like to see or read the interview to hear it in full context.

[AB Editor]

Shall we just let Granny pick him up on that one? :)

[Mamyalynne]

Yes that was comical and sweet.

[jennyjoan]

I was both lip-reading and subtitles as always.

Also in another interview re Harry and William - about granny again. But sista and myself couldn't believe it when they said they were "bricking" it. A terrible word methinks.

[Mamyalynne]

Sub Titles are not always reliable.

[jno]

live subtitles done by robots can be hilariously wrong.

[jennyjoan]

I know that Mamy - in fact subtitles can be really really wrong but I do get the "meaning" usually.
