A SOURCE

While I was looking at what sources to find one, I came across a source that listed 50 nautical Terms
and Sailing Phrases That Have Enriched Our Language.


I thought that was a super great find. There were listed phrases like "sink or swim"
"high and dry" to be in "deep water"  and plenty of other ones.
This was very helpful to find because among them there were many more phrases listed
and under each phrase there would be a definition with the phrases that were being discussed. 


The idea of this website was extremely helpful because it gave me exposure to all the possible terms
I could talk about in my expenditure. Allowing me access was a great way to make it so that I don’t mess
up any of the definitions of confusing them for what they ought not to be. A big plus was that there was a
vast majority and it was an article that was posted very recently. 


Having to deal with the source can be tricky at times because I run the risk of having an unreliable source.
But I have faith in this website. Although it is a .com it has attributes that I can show how it can
be trusted. For one, it shows the author. The website gives the name of the author
and it makes a small autobiography regarding what the authors interest are
and how that attributes to the piece that they wrote for the website.
It also gives you the option to contact the author but I’m not sure what way this sways me.
The website does show a lot of ads and they do allow for a comment section.
In the comment section I did notice that people commented corrections for the author
and that he replied in a very timely manner. 

I’m still debating the way I will use this source and even if I will be able to use it.
