.…she proceeded to issue cheques to her detriment…. Explanation: The Oxford Greek to English dictionary includes “detriment” as being one of the many meanings of “ζημιά”. The Oxford English dictionary defines “detriment” to mean: “The state of being harmed or damaged”. It was detrimental to the person to issue the cheques, because, by doing so, she would be liable to cover their value regardless of whether the people who should have made the credits referred to eventually did so or not. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2014-07-23 11:11:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- See: Montgomery described her as `a young girl who speaks her mind, often to her detriment '.
