New Delhi. Congress leader Shashi Tharoor is known for his English. He also uses such words in English that it seems impossible to cross them in the language. On social media, he often remains in the headlines for his English. Now once again he is the talk of the town. In fact, this time Congress leader Shashi Tharoor has given a befitting reply to Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, the chief of pharmaceutical company Biocon. Kiran Mazumdar Shaw tried to mess with Shashi Tharoor but Tharoor replied that maybe he would think 10 times before messing with him. He is being praised on social media for Tharoor’s reply.
Alas, Kiran, “incomprehensibleness” is not a word. It’s “incomprehensibility”, and that’s only 19 letters…@kiranshaw https://t.co/vYQ0zMDCKD

viral post on social media
Actually, Kiran Mazumdar Shaw had made a tweet on Saturday in which she tagged Congress leader Shashi Tharoor. Kiran Mazumdar wrote an entire paragraph in English. The title of that paragraph was..A wonderful sentence in English. He wrote – I do not know from where the family doctors got the confusing handwriting illegally. Still, whoever made this sentence must be a vocal genius. It was written in the post – The first word of the sentence is one letter long, the second two letters, the third three letters, the eighth .. eight letters and the twentieth word is 20 letters long.
A befitting reply from Shashi Tharoor
Giving a befitting reply to this post, Tharoor wrote – I wish Kiran .. the last word of your para is wrong. Incomprehensibleness is not a word… There is correct incomprehensibility which is of 19 letters. Which means inconceivable. Now Tharoor’s befitting reply is going viral on social media. Everyone is praising Shashi’s knowledge of English. One user commented and wrote that to mess with Shashi Tharoor in English, dictionary should be with him.
Replace “incomprehensibility” with “indistinguishability” and we’re good to go! The latter has twenty letters and fits in the logic underlying the sentence.
