adamant

[Cayte]

I cleaned up my computer room yesterday and found a piece of paper with these two words. I hope the examples I provide are correct.

adamant (AD-a-munt)    
The adjective adamant means to be firm in your beliefs or decisions and to be unwilling to change your mind. An adamant person is impossible to persuade. The adverb form is adamantly.
Ex:  He wanted to move back to New York, but his wife was adamant about staying in Alaska.
      He adamantly denied that the land purchased by his company was illegal or improper in anyway.


unscrupulous (un-SKREWP-ya-lus)
The adjective unscrupulous means to be without principles, not careing about honesty or fairness in getting what you want.
Ex: Poorly educated woman face health and family problems because unscrupulous employers continue to make them work in bad condition.

I love these words. Unscrupulous just sounds great. Having scruples is the question as to whether someone is honest or moral in their decision making.

Bush was adamant in maintaining his scruples!
