# Glossary of Terms This document appears to be a glossary of terms, defining different personality types or character traits. Each entry on the list comprises a word (e.g., "Cacographist") followed by a description of the corresponding person or trait. There are a couple of formatting idiosyncrasies worth noting. The numbering does not appear to be sequential. The numbering skips several numbers, and the entries are not in any obvious order or thematic grouping, therefore listing the entries from the image. Below is a table with a summary of the terms and their descriptions: | Term | Description | |---|---| | Cacographist | A person who makes many spelling or grammatical errors | | Cannibal | A person who feeds on human flesh | | Carnivorous | A person who feeds on flesh | | Chauvinist | A person who has fanatical patriotism or belief in the superiority of one's own group | | Connoisseur | A person who is expert and insightful, particularly concerning the refinement of personal tastes | | Contemporary | A contemporary living at the same time | | Convalescent | someone recovering from illness | | Coquette | A girl/woman who flirts with men | | Cosmopolitan | A citizen of the world who feels at ease in and respects other cultures | | Cynic | somebody who believes in the worst of motives in other peoples' actions.

Some terms are also written in a somewhat ambiguous context, which requires more background context to give a detailed explanation.
