Used in a sentence

  • Your definition of "elephant" needs to be more precise than "a big animal with large ears".
  • DEFINITIONS mean nothing unless the concept in the mind of the men who makes the definition is the same as that in the mind of the man who hears it.
  • Baroque is a good game, but only for a very narrow subset of the gaming audience. It is the very definition of a niche title.
