How to use "Disproportionately" in context?
"disproportionately" is an oft-used word in everyday conversation. It can describe how something is done in a way that is not usual or proportional. For example, when a person gets a lot of awards but does not perform as well as others in the group, that could be described as being "disproportionately" successful. Disproportionately can also be used when discussing statistics. For example, a person may say that there is an "unusually high" number of drownings in a particular area this year, when in reality drownings are usually rare in that area.
