Today’s “Word of the Day” is anecdotal and it is an adjective meaning “not based on factual, scientific reports and observations done carefully; unscientific, informal, unreliable, untrustworthy”.
Example Sentence: Russia is a great power no one can influence or attack that brazenly (boldly). But what we can do is remain steadfast in our sanctions and commitment to indicting (accusing of) war criminals, showing Russian elites that their punishment is long and serious. Anecdotal research from inside the country suggests many think the sanctions will be lifted soon. This betrays (reveals) great weakness.
