Dreams/achievements
Message from theo24 posted on 12-04-2010 at 23:12:34
hello guys!
hope all of you're doing fine.
please will you tell me how to employ the word "achievement"? I overheard that it can't be employed in the superlative. for e.g: should i say, my great achievement or my greatest achievement?

Hello Theo24,

Well, it may be considered 'not modest', but;

My greatest achievement or greatest accomplishment, the greatest human achievements..., all sound fine to me.

goal, success, achievement, accomplishment are commonly used with superlative adjectives, especially in job interviews, when we have to market ourselves.

It is politically correct and even recommended in citations:
As long as they are accurate, do not be afraid of using superlatives in citations. Honours exist specifically to recognise superlative achievement.
