				| 
 |  
				| Hello, 
 Is the use of "wise" appropriate here?
 
 "Because of the traffice jam, it was a wise decision to travel by boat instead of by car."
 
 Does this decision qualify for the label "wise"?
 
 Thank you,
 
 Nawee

				| Quite all right.  In fact, a wise choice of words. _________________

				| Yes, wise can mean prudent or sensible, both of which fit the sentence you've given. |  |
