UNFAMILIAR WORD OR TERM?

Misunderstood words have an enormous impact on your comprehension of a subject. Many of us feel stupid when we encounter a word we do not understand or cannot pronounce.

Becoming a Master of any subject area requires developing an in-depth understanding of the terminology of that particular field. As you read an article or post, be aware of any stuck attention and words that make you feel dumb or ignorant and look them up in a dictionary or this site’s Glossary.
