Contradiction

[edit]

The lead first says that senses are meanings and then that senses have meanings... --ExperiencedArticleFixer (talk) 16:56, 24 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Example for narrow broad understanding of a word

[edit]

Doesn't the example show exactly the opposite of what a sentence earlier is claimed? That the public has a broader understanding of a word and experts have a narrower sense. The example shows exactly the opposite as it shows that in this case experts have a broader sense of orthography and the public a narrower one. Or am I mistaken?
