The words feckless, fecund, and feculent sound the same, but their meanings are very different.
Feckless means "incompetent." The opposite of feckless is...
Fecund, which means "able to make children, or produce fruit, or be productive." Don't confuse fecund with...
Feculent, which means, actually, well, it means..."full of feces."
Confuse these words, and you might have a lot of apologizing to do.
"Honey, I meant your mother was fecund! Fecund! Not feculent! I know, I know. I'm feckless."
