Meanings
comparative more unobjectionable · superlative most unobjectionable
- Not objectionable; not causing any objection.
The line had obvious good qualities. It nowhere involved severe gradients; its curves in Whishaw's phrase were "unobjectionable"; it served an economic need; until the opening of the more direct Dundee-Forfar line, it had no real competitor; it was managed with vigour and honesty.
