comment Is there a name for someone that accepts a risk and then complains when it occurs?
I'd say that definitely covers someone that accepts the risk. It's more the complaining about the bad outcome after the fact that I'm looking for. Thanks!

comment What is the difference between “quicker” and “faster”?
"I will get there quicker [than you]" is incorrect. You want, "I will get there more quickly [than you]".

comment How should “deceptively” actually be used?
i agree. i think it is better to simply avoid using "deceptively". the same as it is better to avoid using "bi-weekly" or "bi-monthly". sure, they have definitions, but no one remembers them.
