Cleaning up some other things in glossary (#3768)

* Fixing Typo that was mentioned in #3764

* Cleaning up some other things in glossary

As I was making the other commit (#3766) I noticed some other things in the glossary that could be changed.

One of the main things is that each example read differently so there was a lot of jumping between how examples were written, I've made them a bit more unified.

I also added a bit more explanatory text and added some links as suggested in #3764.

I made this a seperate pull because I figured it might be a bit more opinionated than the typo error.

* Missed discovery.

* Add quotes
