Privacy Experts Tells Seniors: 5 Places You're Being Watched and Don't Even Know it

FOUND ON YOUTUBE: Privacy Experts Tells Seniors: 5 Places You're Being Watched and Don't Even Know it

Obviously, Privacy Experts Tell Seniors is correct.

ALSO ON YOUTUBE: They were talking about Sub-Saharan Africa, so I looked it up.

The meaning of SUB-SAHARAN is of, relating to, or being the part of Africa south of the Sahara.

WORD MAN: CHARIVARI and ORTHOGRAPHIC

How to Use a Dictionary

CHARIVARI: The charivari had no effect on the Siamese.

I'd never seen the word charivari before, so I looked it up.

It's a noun that means "a noisy mock serenade performed by a group of people to celebrate a marriage or mock an unpopular person" or "a series of discordant noises."

I doubt I'd ever use that word in a sentence.

ORTHOGRAPHIC: The sight was like a B-12 shot to one who had won all the spelling bees in grade school and had become an orthographic snob ever since.

I'd never seen orthographic before, and the internet only explains it in terms of orthography, which tells me nothing. It involves spelling.

One web site defines orthography as "the art of writing words with the proper letters, according to accepted usage; correct spelling."

I doubt I'd use orthographic in a sentence, either.
