I know you can be overwhelmed, and I know you can be underwhelmed, but can you just be whelmed?
Answer:
no
Using your complete statement, it must be that being whelmed is akin to 'jellin''!
Overwhelmed, when expectations are surpassed; underwhelmed when expectations are not quite met, a kind of disappointment -- so, whelmed, is when results are normal, as expected, or, when expectations are reasonable and realistic! Like, in golf, below par and above par have just the par (on par), between them! In the normal, routine life of a mature person, there is more moments of "whelmed", than "over" or "under", just as in the case of a normal golf player with correctly calibrated card conforming to his game!
Yes to be overwhelmed and whelmed mean the same thing.
I'm afraid not - sorry
Is it in the dictionary??
