for "standard deviation" : A great deal of confusion has been introduced into statistical literature by the many different expressions which have been used for the standard deviation and the simple derivatives of it. (...) The term "standard deviation" is now almost universally accepted (...). "Mean error" (Gauss), "mean square error" and "error of mean square" (Airy) have all been used to denote the standard deviation. The standard deviation is not to be confused with "standard error". 2, record 1, English, - population%20standard%20deviation

The semantic differential has come to be used widely in marketing research. Perhaps its main use has been in connection with brand and company image studies; it permits the development of descriptive profiles that facilitate comparison of competitive items. [Its] unique characteristic [...] is the use of a number of bipolar scales [...] As originally developed, each scale consisted of two opposing adjectives [...] which were separated by a continuum divided into seven segments. 1, record 3, English, - semantic%20differential
