- We're unsynchronized.†
Chpt 4.4unsynchronized = not happening at the same time or in a coordinated sequence; or (of watches/clocks) not set to show the same timestandard prefix: The prefix "un-" in unsynchronized means not and reverses the meaning of synchronized. This is the same pattern you see in words like unhappy, unknown, and unlucky.

Chpt 4.4
- Too well synchronized.†
Chpt 4.4 *synchronized = caused to happen at the same time or in a coordinated sequence; or set clocks/watches to show the same timestandard suffix: The suffix "-ize" converts a word to a verb. This is the same pattern you see in words like apologize, theorize, and dramatize.
