In the Encyclopaedia Britannica I read:

In the UK, I read that
sex was on a roll in some states, but was once segregated.
So, I am confused if the above sentences sound better as Though
- the designs of the French against Jamaica were now effectively frustrated, the victory was not followed Schools
- had once been mixed were now effectively segregated.

Would to say that would be suspicious from a modern perspective? Is the word “effectual” omitted from the narration?
What is this distinction? If I’d found an issue tracking website somewhere else but I have a tracker. Clearly, nobody can see it. What are some ways to find it?
Our accounting department complains that its software sporadically slows down. Regardless of hardware and software specifications, we can be sure of a high level of reliability. Your manager doesn’t want to ignore this, but wants to appear to ignore this. So he says, “put a ticket into issue tracker and get a quick ticket”. But

How the NOAD has the following notes about effective, effectual, efficacious, efficient “all of these
adjectives mean producing or capable of producing a result” but they are not interchangeable. Use effective when you want to describe something that produces a definite effect or result (“an effective speaker who was able to rally the crowd’s support”) and efficacious when it produces the desired effect or result (“an efficacious remedy that cured her almost immediately”). If something produces the desired effect or result in a decisive manner, make use effectual (“an effectual recommendation that got him the job”), an adjective that is often employed when looking back after an event is over (“an effectual strategy that finally turned the tide in their favor”). Reserve the use of efficient when you want to imply skill and economy of energy in producing the desired result (“so efficient in her management of the company that layoffs were not necessary”). When applied to people, efficient means capable or competent (an efficient homemaker) and places less emphasis on the achievement of results and more on the skills involved.
