1. Tactful
![Page 3: Tactful, tentative, Literary and Rhetorical language](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061318/55943f131a28abe35b8b4761/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Tactful means to be sensitive, to avoid
hurting other people’s feeling.
This is very important when you are
giving bad news, introducing a
negative topic or criticizing someone.
e.g.
If you are tactful, you wouldn’t tell your
friend that food was awful in his
wedding, you’d talk about interesting
people you met and about the great
decoration.

“The serious minded result has many
super-cool moment. But when it gets
clunky, it’s super-meh.”
New York Daily’s review on
Man of Steel

In general tact is ‘indirectness linked
with fact’.

2. Tentative
![Page 7: Tactful, tentative, Literary and Rhetorical language](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061318/55943f131a28abe35b8b4761/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Tentative language shows an
indication of speaker’s reluctance
(hesitation, not willing).
It has a range :
I. It can be a little about being
moderately developed,
II. Or it can be mostly developed.
e.g. Someone may have murdered
Micheal Jackson.
Someone might just have murdered
MJ.

All interpretations made by a scientist are hypotheses, and all hypotheses are tentative. They must forever be tested and they must be revised if found to be unsatisfactory. Hence, a change of mind in a scientist, and particularly in a great scientist, is not only not a sign of weakness but rather evidence for continuing attention to the respective problem and an ability to test the hypothesis again and again.
— Ernst Mayr
