  1. definition

    A definition is exact, an explanation general; a definition is formal, a description pictorial. A definition must include all that belongs to the object defined, and exclude all that does not; a description may include only some general features; an explanation may simply throw light upon some point of special difficulty. An exposition undertakes to state more fully what is compactly given or only implied in the text; as, an exposition of Scripture. Interpretation is ordinarily from one language into another, or from the language of one period into that of another; it may also be a statement giving the doubtful or hidden meaning of that which is recondite or perplexing; as, the interpretation of a dream, a riddle, or of some difficult passage. Definition, explanation, exposition, and interpretation are ordinarily blended in a commentary, which may also include description. A comment is upon a single passage; a commentary may be the same, but is usually understood to be a volume of comments.

    Synonyms:
    comment, commentary, description, explanation, exposition, interpretation, rendering, translation

    This definition has been with us for millennia, he succeeded in making everybody feel less than certain.

  2. Ted Cruz:

    Yesterday, Supreme Court Justices re-wrote ObamaCare, yet again, in order to force this failed law on the American people. Today Supreme Court doubled down with a 5-4 opinion that undermines not just the definition of marriage but the very foundations of our representative form of government.

  3. Dejan Ilijevski:

    All available news, information, and expectations have already been priced in, says Dejan Ilijevski, investment manager and president of Sabela Capital Markets in Munster, Indiana. The only information that's not priced in is tomorrow's news, and news by its inherent definition is impossible to predict.

  4. David Goodhart:

    I think anything that brings the country together like a good World Cup run or the 2012 Olympics (different countries of course) almost by definition bridges Somewhere/Anywhere gulfs at least for a short time, but they can also reveal gulfs. It is noticeable how relatively few England flags there are in London, especially the central areas, compared with most of the rest of the country.
