Scientific language

by ASMAA997 Sun Sep 11, 2016 5:07 am

Scientific language often employs common words in ways that clash with the general usage, such as "temperate"; this term is generally used to refer to mild, pleasant weather, but climatologists use it in regions where summers are hot, winters are harsh, and extreme climatic variation.

this is the right answer , but how this is the right and " temperate," directly followed by a comma ?
