Entangled vs tangled and A PRIORI

Entangled vs tangled Which would you use please?

I've never seen so many entangled/tangled wires.

Could you tell me how to use A Priori

1 This favourable a priori about the economic value cannot, however, hide the fact that the techniques allowing to measure the willingness to pay, when applied to non-market goods, raise several problems.
2 I have an apriori about tomorrow . I really don't want to go.

thank you

1. Tangled. (I've never seen such tangled wires!)
(You want to emphasize the degree of entanglement ,not the number of wires there.)

2. I have never used it, and I never would unless I were a lawyer.

Hi,

The Latin phrase 'a priori' describes a method of reasoning from cause to effect, or from general principles without observing actual facts.

Have a look here for details.

Clive, do you use "a proiri" yourself? I have never, ever used this, and I'm pretty sure that if I did, the well-educated people with whom I work would make fun of me for weeks.

Hi,

Once in a while. Depends on who I'm talking to.

People my age studied Latin in school in England, although now they don't. It used to be compulsory, as a requirement for university entry.

I don't think it has ever been much of a subject in the American curriculum, or has it?
