shanty town: The terms "shanty town" and "slum" are often used as synonyms, but should be kept separate because they denote two different urban phenomena. Slums are decaying, impoverished neighbourhoods in old, ready-built urban environments, whereas shanty towns are new neighbourhoods constructed of rickety materials on vacant land often at the outskirts of urban areas. 3, record 2, English, - slum

«Annuité», dans le langage technique comme dans la langue courante, désigne une somme versée annuellement, destinée à constituer un capital ou à éteindre une dette. Il ne faut pas confondre ce terme avec «rente» qui est un revenu qu'on touche annuellement. L'emploi de «annuité» comme équivalent de «annuity» dans le sens anglais de versement périodique servi à une personne en échange d'un capital aliéné, est fautif. 4, record 3, French, - rente
