Vetoes audio micro-course (transcript)
Podcast 1 — Introduction & meaning
Narrator: Today's word is "vetoes" — pronounced /ˈviː.təʊz/, the plural of the noun "veto" and also the verb "he or she vetoes".
Narrator: As a noun, vetoes are several acts of blocking; as a verb, it means one person regularly refuses or blocks decisions.
Narrator: In plain English, vetoes are repeated "no"s — either many separate blocks, or what someone keeps doing.
Narrator: It grows from the Latin "veto", "I forbid", the same root used by tribunes in ancient Rome.
Narrator: English forms this plural by adding "-es" after the "o", so one veto becomes several vetoes.
Narrator: That same "-es" turns the verb to its he-and-she form: "the chairman vetoes any rushed proposal".
Narrator: Over time the word stayed firmly in the worlds of councils, committees, and governments where blocking happens often.
Narrator: In tone it's formal and weighty — counting vetoes suggests serious, recorded decisions, not casual moans.
Narrator: So remember: vetoes are repeated firm refusals — the plural of power, or the habit of saying "I forbid".

Podcast 2 — In conversation
Speaker A: The committee's had three vetoes this month alone — nothing's getting through.
Speaker B: Three vetoes? That's a lot of blocked proposals.
Speaker A: Exactly. Each chair vetoes anything that costs too much.
Speaker B: So there "vetoes" is the verb — what the chair keeps doing.
Speaker A: Right, and "three vetoes" is the noun — the count of separate blocks.
Speaker B: Good distinction. The common mistake is spelling it "vetos".
Speaker A: Yes — after that "o", English wants "-es", so it's "vetoes".
Speaker B: True, like "potatoes" and "tomatoes" — the "o" takes an "es".
Speaker A: Close words? "Rejections" or "blocks", though they sound less official.
Speaker B: Exactly — "vetoes" keeps that formal, authoritative ring.
Speaker A: So I'd say "the board issued two vetoes" to sound precise.
Speaker B: Perfect — clear, correct, and properly spelled.
Podcast 3 — Prompt engineering
Speaker B: Let's use "vetoes" as a keyword for counting and managing multiple blocks in your apps.
Speaker A: So "vetoes" points the AI at totals and repeated actions?
Speaker B: Exactly. Picture a summary screen. You'd prompt:
Prompt: Build a dashboard card that counts how many vetoes each approver has made this month, with a small bar chart and a calm, professional colour theme.
Speaker B: The plural "vetoes" tells the model we're aggregating many actions.
Speaker A: Nice. What about the data side?
Speaker B: Here's a schema prompt:
Prompt: Design a database schema where each approver can have many vetoes. Link approvers to requests, store each veto with a reason, and add indexes for fast counting.
Speaker A: So one approver, many vetoes. And listing them?
Speaker B: Keep it tidy:
Prompt: Create a table that groups all vetoes by approver, showing a total count per person and letting me click a row to see that approver's individual vetoes.
Speaker A: I like how organised that feels.
Speaker B: For a quick full build, stay minimal:
Prompt: Build a small app that tracks committee vetoes: a list of all vetoes, a count by month, and a filter by approver, all under one navigation bar.
Speaker A: Could it flag unusual spikes for me?
Speaker B: Yes:
Prompt: Add a gentle alert that appears when one approver's vetoes rise sharply in a month, explaining the spike in one short, plain-English line.
Speaker A: So "vetoes" keeps every prompt about counting repeated blocks.
Speaker B: Exactly — one memorable plural that shapes the whole reporting flow.
