How to use "Sham" in context?
There is much talk about "sham" in the world today. Sham is typically defined as a deceitful or fraudulent act. It is often used interchangeably with "false", but there is a nuance to sham that needs to be understood.
So what is the difference between sham and false? The dictionary defines false as "used of words, ideas, representations, or facts to conceal or suppress the truth; fraudulent". Sham, on the other hand, is "a simulation of reality or of the appearance of reality".
