There is no difference in meaning between "keep trying" and "keep on trying". "unegligible" is not a word.

Thank you, bhai.
I think it is "ineligible", isn’t it?

'Ineligible' makes no sense in that context.

LeTyan had probably heard 'The difference between A and B is negligible' so he/she thought that unegligible was the opposite.

What I understand that LeTyan thinks that the word unegligible is a synonym for significant?

I thought he might have been trying for intelligible.

I am so flattered that my mistake sparked so many guesses.

Alright, this is the truth: I know the word "negligible" so I just thought adding "un-" at the start of it would invert its meaning:lol:(obviously wrong for this case though)

You never know - 'unegligible' might even enter the language.

...though it would surely need a double n.

What's wrong with ... non-negligible, which exists already?
