Hello and welcome to this week’s ‘question of the week’! The word that will be covered is ‘frivolous’, which is found in the following question:
Question: Should frivolous suggestions be ignored?
Frivolous is defined as something that is seen as not important, not serious, or lacking merit. A frivolous suggestion would thus not be taken seriously, and would most likely be ignored by the reader. For instance, suggesting to the weather channel that they use different colors based on the temperature forecast may be seen as frivolous compared to suggesting the inclusion of wind speeds. But does it mean that these suggestions should be ignored?
It depends on the situation. If there are a lot of suggestions and only a limited amount of time to think through each suggestion, then a lot would be classified as frivolous. These frivolous suggestions may then either be stored for future use, or ignored if they continuously come. It must be said though that any idea may spark a success, thus even frivolous suggestions can create value despite not showing it at first. Thus, reading a suggestion twice, albeit a frivolous one, may be a better approach than ignoring it right away.
In short: A frivolous suggestion means one that is seen as not important, not serious, or lacking merit. However, any idea may create a success over time, thus reading a frivolous suggestion twice may be better than ignoring it right away.
