Medical Retirement from Federal Employment: Contested lives

Posted onAuthorFederal Disability Retirement AttorneyLeave a comment

We hear of such terms in specific linguistic contexts; of a “contested” divorce, or that a variable version of a testimony or evidence has been “contested”; or that the results of a certain race or game has been contested.  If you drop the affix placed after the stem of the word (i.e., the suffix or the “ed”), and emphasize the first syllable, it becomes a noun; whereas, if you engage in the identical mental exercise but intone upon the second syllable, it becomes a verb.  As a noun, it is normally relegated to a challenging game, a sport or perhaps some duel; […] Read More …
