One can surely trust author-politician-former international civil servant Shashi Tharoor for knowing the English language best! Tharoor, who is known for his impressive vocabulary and knowledge of the English language, wowed netizens yet again on April 30 when he responded to Biocon chief Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw about a rhopalic sentence on Twitter.
It started with Mazumdar-Shaw sharing an example of a rhopalic sentence on Twitter tagging Tharoor. For those who don't know, a rhopalic sentence is the one "having successive lines of a stanza increasing in length by the addition of one element (as a syllable or metrical foot)," according to Merriam-Webster dictionary.
