"Discovered"
Why is this word in scare quotes?

'Discover' means to make known. It does not mean 'find'. Explorers 'discover' i.e. reveal to the rest of the world places of which most people were ignorant.

The sentence 'I discovered my car-keys under the bed' is jocular, a joke. It does not mean 'I found them'. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:44B8:3102:BB00:E889:8871:3C5F:F267 (talk) 00:51, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
