When dating, "Just be confident" is just bad advice if you ask me. (lemm.ee)

"Being confident" is dangerously close to straight up bothering people. Plus it only really works if you're good looking.

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
