Word of the Day: Qualm
Have you ever done something and then doubted yourself?
Have you ever wondered if what you were doing was the wrong thing?
If you have, you have had qualms about your actions.
A qualm is the uncomfortable feeling of doubt you get when you second-guess yourself and wonder if what you are doing is the right thing or not.
Some people don’t have qualms about what they are doing.
I suppose those are the types of people who create fake news.
You hear about fake news all the time these days.
The Americans are having a hell of a time trying to fight fake news all because a relatively few people have no qualms about spreading misinformation and lies.
