NBC Commentator uses the WRONG word | Learn Vocabulary #SHORTS

I was watching the Olympics last  night, and the commentator used the wrong word.

“She is incredible adapt at  going big.”

He said ‘adapt’, which is 

a verb. He meant ‘adept’, an adjective.  ADEPT – very skilled, proficient. This 

person was an adept snowboarder, a  very skilled snowboarder. So that’s 

‘adept’ with the EH vowel. But what he  said was ‘adapt’, with the AA vowel. 

Now, that’s a verb, and it means  ‘to make suitable to requirements or 

conditions, to adjust or  modify fittingly. But what  

he meant was ‘adept’. She is skilled. Adept, adapt.
