  1. Writing -- Words
    A full writing system is capable of expressing any concept that can be formulated in language. Therefore, full writing systems are characterized by a more or less fixed correspondence between the signs of the writing system and elements of the language the writing represents. The elements of language represented, then, can be words, syllables, or phonemes (the smallest units of speech that distinguish two different utterances in a language). Thus, writing systems can be categorized as word (or logographic), syllabic, or alphabetic. Because full writing systems represent elements of language, knowledge of the language written is required to understand the meaning intended by the writer. This does not mean that a writing system is tied to one language.
  2. Spelling -- Words
    Spelling is the writing of a word or words with all necessary letters and diacritics present in an accepted standard order. It is one of the elements of orthography and a prescriptive element of language. Most spellings attempt to approximate a transcribing of the sounds of the language into alphabetic letters; ... completely phonetic spellings are often the exception, due to drifts in pronunciations over time and irregular spellings adopted through common usage.[1]
  3. Allah -- Words
    The word Allah is used in all Arabic translations of the Bible. It was used in some English translations of the Bible like the original "Scofield Reference Bible"-reference: what is his name? by Deedat. In the New Testament, Jesus is believed to cry before his death "ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?” Eloi is the exact Arabic word "Elahi" which comes from the same root as Allah.
  4. Slang -- Words
    Slang is one of the vehicles through which languages change and become renewed, and its vigor and color enrich daily speech. Although it has gained respectability in the 20th century, in the past it was often loudly condemned as vulgar. Nevertheless, Shakespeare brought into acceptable usage such slang terms as hubbub, to bump, and to dwindle, and 20th-century writers have used slang brilliantly to convey character and ambience. Slang appears at all times and in all languages. A person’s head was kapala (dish) in Sanskrit, testa (pot) in Latin; testa later became the standard Latin word for head. Among Western languages, English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Yiddish, Romanian, and Romany (Gypsy) are particularly rich in slang.
  5. Newspeak -- Words
    In George Orwell’s 1984, Newspeak is the official language of Oceania, the imperial state. Unlike traditional dictionaries that add words with each new edition, each succeeding edition of the Newspeak dictionary contained fewer words. Not only was the vocabulary reduced in volume, but ... the words in use were stripped of all but the narrowest connotation. The goal of Newspeak was to render independent thought and dissent next to impossible.
  6. The L Word -- Cbs Corporation
    The spoiler first appeared on EW prior the Thursday’s show. Still, the promo of Grissom actually proposing to Sara at the end of the ep sent shock waves through the CSI fandom. Next week’s episdoe (The Case of the Cross-Dressing Carp) will indeed feature Gil asking Sara to marry him. Well..it’s more like he suggests they get married. CBS has actually released a clip of the proposal as well as a promo that is entirely based on the Grissom-Sara storyline. Looks like the TPTB have invested heavily in this sometimes controversial ship.
  7. Spelling -- Spelling Words
    Spelling words in English is challenging work. As a matter of fact, many native speakers of English have problems with spelling correctly. One of the main reasons for this is that many, many English words are NOT spelled as they are spoken. This difference between pronunciation and spelling causes a lot of confusion. The combination "ough" provides an excellent example:
  8. The L Word -- People
    These are the people who made “liberal” a bad word. These are the ones who care not to be their brother’s keeper, or to be the village that raises the child. They mock the concept of “compassion” by linking it to “conservative.” There is no such thing. “Compassionate conservative”? Please.
