LEGAL ENGLISH: What is a covenant?

✨ Quora answers ✨

In its broadest sense, a covenant is a promise, agreement, or contract between two parties. As part of the covenant, the two parties agree that certain activities will or will not be carried out.

Covenants in finance most often relate to terms in a financial contract, such as a loan document or bond issue stating the limits at which the borrower can further lend. Covenants in religion often convey the binding relationship between a deity and humanity.

➡️Covenants are agreements between multiple parties that create a legally binding agreement on how each party is to perform.
➡️Covenants can either promote activity to occur (positive covenant) or disallow an event or condition (negative covenant).
➡️Debt covenants are most common, as they place financial covenants on the borrower and lender as part of the loan agreement.
➡️Covenants are legally binding clauses, and if breached will trigger compensatory or other legal action.
➡️Many sectors like finance, real estate, law, and religion have covenants, though it is used in many different contexts across each group.

Regarding business, covenants are most often represented in terms of financial ratios that must be maintained, such as a maximum debt-to-asset ratio or other such ratios. They cover various aspects, from minimum dividend payments to working capital levels. If a covenant is broken, the lender can call back the obligation or reduce risk. There are two primary types: affirmative and negative covenants, and a third type, financial covenants, sometimes separated into its own category.

Types of Covenants
Different industries and sectors have different types of covenants. In general, it’s pretty common to see both positive and negative covenants across different industries.
➡️Debt Covenants
➡️Property Covenants
➡️Law Covenants
➡️Religious Covenants

LEGAL ENGLISH: Hereof, Herein, Hereafter, Hereon

What we cover in our legal English classes

Legal English: c’est autre chose.

It’s challenging to even begin to explain just how complicated legal language can be. I’ve been teaching legal English to lawyers, solicitors, prosecutors, paralegals, and notary publics for over 20 years now. It’s still my favorite area of English.

hereof = of the thing or document that is being talked about:
This Agreement shall commence on the date of signature hereof.

herein = in this:
The people have no faith in their government, and herein lies the root of the problem.

hereafter = starting from this time; in the future:
Elizabeth Gaskell’s novel “Ruth” will hereafter be cited within the text as EG.

hereon = from this point:
“The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” will hereon be referred to as “TLWW”.
from hereon: It gets a lot harder from hereon.
from hereon in: Progress is likely to slow from hereon in.

Can vs. Could: Learn the Difference

Master English Grammar
Can vs. Could: Learn the Difference

People often use can and could interchangeably, even though the words have slightly different meanings. Luckily, the rules about when to use can vs. could are pretty straightforward.

Both are modal verbs used to express ability or possibility; they can also be used to ask for permission.

When you’re talking about the possibility of something happening in the future, use can if something is very likely to happen. Could, on the other hand, should be used for things that have an equal chance of not happening. When you’re referring to someone’s ability to do something, use can in present-tense scenarios and could in past-tense situations.

Avoid making a grammatical blunder by reading our piece on the differences between can vs. could.

What’s the difference between Can and Could?
Unlike some other commonly confused words, such as to vs. for, can and could have only two main differences: tense and likelihood.

Can is the present tense modal verb used to express someone’s ability.

I can book that appointment for you right now if you’d like.

Could is the past tense modal verb used to express someone’s ability.

Harpreet could have pitched a perfect game if his manager had kept him in.

Both verbs can also be used to express the likelihood of something happening in the future tense, which is when most people often confuse the two. Can is used to describe scenarios that are more likely than not to happen, while could is used for scenarios that are less probable.

You can get an upset stomach from eating too many habaneros.
I really think Steve could win this season of the Great British Baking Show.

What Is Greenwashing?

What Is Greenwashing?

Greenwashing is the process of conveying a false impression or misleading information about how a company’s products are environmentally sound. Greenwashing involves making an unsubstantiated claim to deceive consumers into believing that a company’s products are environmentally friendly or have a greater positive environmental impact than they actually do.

In addition, greenwashing may occur when a company attempts to emphasize sustainable aspects of a product to overshadow the company’s involvement in environmentally damaging practices. Performed through the use of environmental imagery, misleading labels, and hiding tradeoffs, greenwashing is a play on the term “whitewashing,” which means using false information to intentionally hide wrongdoing, error, or an unpleasant situation in an attempt to make it seem less bad than it is.

Greenwashing is an attempt to capitalize on the growing demand for environmentally sound products.
Greenwashing can convey a false impression that a company or its products are environmentally conscious or friendly.
Critics have accused some companies of greenwashing to capitalize on the socially responsible or environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing movement.
Genuinely green products or businesses back up their claims with facts and details.
Also known as “green sheen,” greenwashing is an attempt to capitalize on the growing demand for environmentally sound products, whether that means they are more natural, healthier, free of chemicals, recyclable, or less wasteful of natural resources.

Engleza de august/ flumadiddle

Flumadiddle = utter nonsense (American English, being a combination of flummery = complete nonsense and diddle = to fool with).

The sun will call off his stinging rays of heat to end the flumadiddle of this scorching summer…eventually…

Earlier this spring I wished for a long and breezy summer and a long merry autumn…

Autumn covers the moon with joy

And the sun with mellow haze…
