Unsuck it - Turn jargon to speech PDF Print E-mail

“Ninja,” “Guru,” “Team Player,” “Personal Brand” — if this litany of terms gets your skin crawling, you might want to check out this novelty app: Unsuck It.Brought to you by Mule Design, Unsuck It basically does just that: When you enter a term like, say, “Ninja” into the search bar, the app translates it into normal person language.You then have the option of sharing it on Twitter, or “e-mailing the douchebag who used it” — said e-mail contains the subject line, “Hey, douchebag! Stop torturing the English language!” and a link to the term and translation in the body. The site also features the option “I’m Feeling Douchey,” which unearths a random term, and a “Browse” tab by which you can sift through other gems.All right, ye of the office-bound variety — future fighters of the weekend wars — tell us in the comments, what’s the worst jargon-y term you’ve heard (or used…) all day?

There are some great places you can visit, where you can watch videos of some of the most innovative, sharing, sensitive, [add your favorite adjective here] people out there. They share information, they make you see life through a completely different perspective. It's worth a visit!.

Ελληνικοί ιστότοποι με ψηφιακές συλλογές κειμένων

Στη γενικότερη προσπάθειά μου να συμμαζέψω συνδέσμους αλλά και να βοηθήσω συναδέλφους που ζητούσαν πληροφορίες για βιβλιογραφία, ανέβασα στο νέο ιστότοπο linguistics.gr έναν κατάλογο (αρχικό) που είχα φτιάξει με ιστότοπους που περιέχουν βιβλία σε ηλεκτρονική μορφή. Από αυτόν τον κατάλογο έχω χρησιμοποιήσει κατά κόρον την Ανέμη, την υπηρεσία Books του Google αλλά και το Οpen Archives. Ανεβάζω αυτή τη λίστα και εδώ μια και ουσιαστικά για εδώ προοριζόταν αλλά την μοιράστηκα και εκεί :)...
