A professor of mine used this. There seems to be a bit of gray area as to precisely when to use it.

hey lad—I had to take a few days off ( was getting rotten headaches and the nurse in me figured out it was right after computer use—have some BluVues on that are supposed to help). Yes, there are still some words out there that stump me. I didn’t “ get” ‘exponential’, and ‘petulant’ for awhile. Always interesting territory for me..and, always a pleasure to talk with you, mi buchal..( sp.?)*

*I think that’s Gaelic for favorite companion...?hug

It's good to take a break from the computer too.. And yes it's always good to talk with you too.. Mo laoch (My hero) I've never heard of these BluVues, I'm guessing some kind of classes. mine are rose tinted..

Hi Rohaan wave

It means - to ease or to change in a sort of softening or relieving way...a lifting of pressure if you will ..

E.g.

Buliding better sea defences helped to ameliorate the risk of flooding...
