Obtuse - English editing.

Obtuse and abstruse are often confused. Someone who is obtuse is rather stupid, as in she’s about as obtuse as they come. Something which is abstruse is rather obscure and difficult to understand. To use obtuse in the meaning of ‘obscure, difficult’, though often done, is not considered good style, and conservatives will consider it a rank mistake.
