Page "Direction of fit" Paragraph 6
from
Wikipedia
To a philosopher of language a word-to-world fit occurs when, say, a sports journalist correctly names Jones as a goal scorer ; whilst if the journalist mistakenly names Smith as the goal scorer, the printed account does not display a word-to-world fit, and must be altered such that it matches the real world.
Conversely, a world-to-word fit occurs when a fan of Smith's team opines that they deserved to win the match, even though they lost.
