Description
In this description it does not distinguish between the $ operator used bare and the $ operator in quotes. The bare $ operator should mention that it performs word splitting and globbing, which is almost always undesirable behaviour for a beginning scripter.

Use the linked screenshot to locate the description of the $ operator, then inspect how the bare and quoted forms are currently explained. Update the documentation so the bare form mentions word splitting and globbing while keeping the quoted form distinct; done means both behaviors are clearly differentiated.
