Glossaries?

[Merlin66 (Ken)]

Does anyone ever use the "Glossary of Terms" sometimes included in text books??

[BeanerSA (Paul)]

Yes

[Merlin66 (Ken)]

Thanks.
I'm never sure how useful they really are.....

I've got one open in front of me right now, believe it or not! Had a (friendly) disagreement with a colleague over the meanings of the botanical terms peduncle and pedicel. Relying on Wikipedia is a bit risky so I dragged out my old copy of Flora of the Sydney Region. Checked the glossary...vindicated!

Yes, of course. I want to comprehend what I'm reading and the GoTs defines the words I don't know, or am not sure of.
