Thanks Sue!

What do you think about the inclusion of the word "briefly" in the Cambridge definition? Does that mean that following "in a word" with a complex sentence (like the "software" example") is not exactly right?

Regardless, I realize that I'm wrong about thinking it should be just one word.

Thanks again!
Dave
