NEWS WORDS: Sporadic

In the weeks since the game was played, reports of sporadic fighting in Karen state and other parts of the country have marred the peace-building process.
The word sporadic means something is happening every now and then.
One cannot predict when it will happen.
It also does not happen in an orderly way.
