"Ted went to his old professor's house the day before his teaching becuase of the man's great educational acumen."

"His acumen when it came to matters such as this was why he had been hired and was why he was making the big bucks."

"When the situation was looking bad and it seemed everyone's judgment and insight was hopelessly blurred, it took the acumen of professor Marshall to bring the troubles to an end."
