Rules Of Grammar: Perspective vs. Prospective

Prospective is defined as: Something that is likely to happen in the future; or, likely to become.

Perspective refers to a view. It is defined in the following ways: “(1) The technique or process of representing on a plane or curved surface the spatial relation of objects as they might appear to the eye; specifically representation in a drawing or painting of parallel lines as converging in order to give the illusion of depth and distance. (2) The interrelation in which a subject or its parts are mentally viewed; point of view. (3) The capacity to view things in their true relations or relative importance. (4) A visible scene; especially one giving a distinctive impression of distance. (5) A mental view or prospect. (6) The appearance to the eye of objects in respect to their relative distance and positions.

Machine Briefs:
OPTION #1: prospective= PROFPT
OPTION #2: prospective= PR-FPT

OPTION #1: perspective= P-FRPT
