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
