Dear teachers,
Here are four sentences involving the word “oversight”.
It was through an
oversight that you were not invited.
Her name was omitted through an
oversight.
The Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Administrative
Oversight and the Courts is one of seven subcommittees within the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Oversight Systems is a US company, founded in late 2003, which develops and sell computer software that helps businesses contiually check for inside fraud, errors and other problems.
Would you be kind enough to explain to me the peaceful co-existence of the two completely opposite and contrary meanings “watchful care; superintedence; general supervision” and “an overlooking; an omission; an error”?
Regards,
V.
