Glossary =

1. a list of terms in a special subject, field, or area of usage, with accompanying definitions.
2. such a list at the back of a book explaining of defining unusual or difficult words.
(according to www.dictionary.reference.com)


what do you do when you dont know wat the explanation itself means? e.g


Cytomegalovirus (CMV) – a herpesvirus. Can cause latent and symptomless infection. The virus is excreted in urine and saliva. It can be passed to the fetus in utero and may cause miscarriage, stillbirth or serious neonatal disease characterized by hepatosplenomegaly, purpura, encephalitis and microcephaly with learning disability, or death. In adults it causes illness similar to infectious mononucleosis and pneumonia. The virus is a serious threat to immunocompromised individuals.




it's 3.30am now, since i dont have a family, i'm up at this hour preparing the damned glossary for a 50 page report that doesnt make sense at all!
