Do You Want to be “Omnipotent,” “Omniscient” or “Omnipresent”?

Many people fantasize that they are all-knowing, all-powerful and everywhere at once.

They want to be omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent. In that order.

Here’s a chance to expand your vocabulary with three SAT words. How do you know which?

Start with the prefix omni-, meaning “all.” Then pick your root.

Scient is from the Latin scienter meaning “knowingly.” Potent means “powerful.” Present means “here.” “All here” means every place one could call here. Another word for that is “everywhere.”

If you don’t want to use these big-boy words, and you don’t like all-knowing, all-powerful and all-everywhere, you can use the word you really mean: godlike.

Until next time! Use the right words!
