Ipodmini  +  249146 Wed, 26 Jul 06 04:56 PM Hi, everyone:-) How to use an adjective to denote someone that "someone is always not able to keep his promise"? BTW: It always happens that I fail to find a proper word, although I knew it if I read it, I cannot come up with the word. Ipodmini Joined on Fri, Jul 14 2006 Full Member 177

If you are unaccountable then you can behave as you wish and that's ok. You need a word that means someone who behaves as they wish and it is not ok. nona the brit
