    Inter means between. Is the Latin prefix intra? From experience I have struggled to define the words “intra-ethnic” and “things that are within one ethnic group”. So what should I say? What you mean by “interethnic conflict”? I don’t think it would be “ethnic Europeans are fighting amongst themselves”.

    If a building’s roof has cornices, this is a decorative ledge. The cornice might be right at the top, as here, or have a parapet or wall above it.

    “Due diligence” originally meant “necessary diligence” or perhaps “expected diligence”, and “due” expressed that a certain amount was required to satisfy a legal process: the amount of effort necessary. When one bills a debtor, the amount of money to pay or payment to settle the debtor is taken out, or there’s interest, the amount of money gets received. What is Wikipedia’s best introduction?

    You are probably correct to say that you cannot have “enough due diligence.” It either have the due amount (you have exercised sufficient diligence in your preparation), or you don’t.

    We have yet to see evidence of that use of the term “due diligence”. Why refers to “sufficient” does not mean “necessary”?

    How you can communicate with a friend and why?

    That said, I think the new usage is regrettable, and it’s not a pretty turn of phrase.
