Hello all!

I have begun the arduous task of writing a glossary of terms for MM.

A & B are up for review....

It will include site specific information and terms, acronym slang and poetry terms to start.

I have been making template pages and will post them in a few minutes.

Once I have completed this undertaking, I will post another message.

Feel free to check in often as updates will be underway as soon as time permits.


Cheers!
Cleo  

Feedback appreciated as always!

OK - the pages are now loaded - 27 in all...

Start here:

REMEMBER: only A & B have data at this point in time...

LOL Gosh Lori - that's a massive undertaking. Go slowly or get help.

Just looked up B:

Thanks for "BBL" - never heard of that one!

Blank verse - I think almost all of Shakespeare's plays are written in it; not just the speeches. (But I'm no expert)

Why don't you draw up a list of terms and farm them out in batches of ten for help?

Hi Lori

Well done for this.  I agree with James, it seems to be a massive undertaking.  I can't say I've ever seen anyone use BBL, though I have been tempted to type BTW (By the way) on occasion but hesitated as I wasn't sure anyone would know what it stood for.

Hi J!  :StarWars3:

Yes, it is!  :laugh: I started this in April and only have A and part of B complete (other than creating templates for all the letters that is).  ???


Ahhh -the  :kitty: is out of the bag! I actually am using twoglossary references (posted into Word docs AND an MM-speak list of terms I created.

The trick is to take existing definitions and re-word them.  :cali: If you or anyone else is interested in helping me, perhaps you can reply with a letter you'd like to work on and I can email you the documents I am using? If some of us take one of the letters at a time, it will surely save time.


I will be away and may not be able to log starting early tomorrow until our return Saturday, but anyone interested, pleae PM me or reply here..

THX!

Thanks Nina!

It's a bit of a but I do believe the end result will be grand!

I can't believe I didn't think of that one (I use it often)! Ill be sure to add that one to the "B" page when I return from traveling.

I also use BRB alot too (not so much on MM) Be Right Back!

HUGS
