words only definitions & notes
  1. native speaker
    a speaker of a particular language who has spoken that language since earliest childhood
    However, the role of "lingua franca" means that English is being used more and more between two non-native speakers as a neutral "third party" language.
  2. hard copy
    (computer science) matter that is held in a computer and is typed or printed on paper
    For example:
    If you prefer to look at hard copy before ordering, we would be happy to mail you our current catalog.
  3. nonnative
    of persons born in another area or country than that lived in
    Most readers are probably thinking here of interactions between native and nonnative speakers.
  4. localization
    a determination of the place where something is
    After reading my previous article about localization becoming less effective as a global strategy in the 21st century, join me now in taking a fresh look at alternatives.
  5. mistranslation
    an incorrect translation
    However, when writing for a global audience, one needs to build flexibility into the content so that it can survive possible mistranslation of one or more terms.
  6. buzzword
    stock phrases that have become nonsense through endless repetition
    Writers should minimize the use of idioms, buzzwords, and unexplained acronyms (e.g.,
  7. bookmark
    a marker (a piece of paper or ribbon) placed between the pages of a book to mark the reader's place
    Please bookmark this page and visit it again at that time.
  8. localize
    concentrate on a particular place or spot
    Global English content is easier for non-native speakers who select the English version of a web site; it is also easier for translators (both native and non-native speakers) to handle when they localize web content.
  9. user-friendly
    easy to use
    In addition, English-language content needs to become user-friendly to a broader range of people, who differ widely in fluency.
  10. modifier
    a content word that qualifies the meaning of a noun or verb
    Using a lot of compound nouns, verbs, and modifiers that overlap in meaning can bloat a sentence, turning it into an unintentional test of the reader's patience.
  11. bloat
    swelling of the intestinal tract of animals caused by gas
    Using a lot of compound nouns, verbs, and modifiers that overlap in meaning can bloat a sentence, turning it into an unintentional test of the reader's patience.
  12. restate
    to say or perform again
    Don't be shy about restating ideas, because a little redundancy can be useful.
  13. redundancy
    the attribute of being superfluous and unneeded
    Don't be shy about restating ideas, because a little redundancy can be useful.
  14. World Wide Web
    computer network consisting of a collection of internet sites that offer text and graphics and sound and animation resources through the hypertext transfer protocol
