I have to answer a question, but I don't understand how to answer it...

The question asks me to take 2 terms from a "letters to the editor" section of a newspaper that are imprecisely definined, and then "identify the nature of the imprecision in the concepts usage, and explain how this imprecision might lead to problems of communication"

One example I have found might be this:

The existing officers and detectives are so overworked with overtime they don't even get to see their families for days at a time and suffer burnout at at alarming rate.

I assume that "burnout" would be considered to be imprecisely defined. I don't know how to answer the question though.

Can anyone help me?
