RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

I don't believe "ept" is a word, the antonym of "inept" is "adept".
I like ept. It reminds me of whelmed.
Hey, I gave up being a language prescriptivist; use it if it makes sense to you! Ain't no one got time to quibble about that shit if what you say makes sense anyway.
I can see it being the midground - inept is bad, adept is good, "ept" is just... "well I guess they don't suck at it", lol
Hahaha, I like it! Gonna start using it... See if I can make it catch on!
Thanks!
I didn't really think it was, just being funny when I couldn't find the word I wanted.
Heading off to etymonline now...
