We add content that we believe helps to explain words and phrases. People may agree or disagree with the explanations given. For example, we have used the word perturbed in a Word of the Day article. When accessed on 12th August 2020, the Cambridge Dictionary definition of the word perturbed is ‘worried’. However, we have tried to give additional context by a detailed explanation of where in our opinion the word may be used, along with what we think are similar words that we think may be substituted in some scenarios. In the example of the word ‘perturbed’, we have expanded our text with the words ‘concerned’, ‘doubt’, and mentioning how this word may relate to the facial expression of a person when they ‘feel unsettled’. This additional explanation we believe helps to explain the word perturbed. Some people may agree or disagree that this accurately describes the word. We are only trying to help visitors to this site to understand where the word could be used practically; we are not giving an academic or professional reference for the word. This website is not a reference that should be relied upon for academic or professional reasons.
