One of my favorite resources, Dictionary.com, gives us a host of word meanings that have been essential (or at least useful) during this coronavirus period. Words matter; that’s why we should dig into their accurate meanings.
This link opens a meaningful door to terms we’re hearing every day.
When you go there, you’ll also see a number of relevant “word trippers” such as “epidemic” vs. “pandemic”; “respirator” vs. “ventilater”; “quarantine” vs. “isolation.”
Take a few moments to study word meanings that matter the most these days!
Great reminder. I keep thinking about the differences between ventilator and respirator and then forget to look it up. As an aside? I love Merriam Webster’s word of the day service.
We’re on the same page!! Hope you’re doing well, Carolyn.
