“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

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…
