Literary notes about convenient (AI summary)
Writers employ "convenient" to signal practicality and ease, whether referring to physical layouts, advantageous circumstances, or even clever rhetorical devices. In some narratives, it designates an ideal location or arrangement that simplifies everyday tasks or strategic maneuvers, as when a system or setting is deemed “most convenient” for its inherent efficiency [1, 2, 3]. In political, military, or social contexts, the term can underscore the pragmatic yet sometimes superficial nature of decisions or groupings—consider its use to describe both the deliberate placement of cavalry [4] and the grouping of citizens for legal or administrative purposes [5]. At times, the word carries a more ironic tone, hinting at an arrangement that, while useful, might also serve as a convenient excuse for less admirable choices [6, 7]. Overall, its varied applications reveal literature’s appreciation for practicality blended with subtle critique or celebration of ease.
