Re: The most common slang words

flamen000 — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 13:24:36 GMT

slang, vernacular vocabulary not generally acceptable in formal usage. It is notable for its liveliness, humor, emphasis, brevity, novelty, and exaggeration. Most slang is faddish and ephemeral, but some words are retained for long periods and eventually become part of the standard language (e.g., phony, blizzard, movie). On the scale used to indicate a word's status in the language, slang ranks third behind standard and colloquial (or informal) and before cant. Slang often conveys an acerbic, even offensive, no-nonsense attitude and lends itself to poking fun at pretentiousness. Frequently grotesque and fantastic, it is usually spoken with intent to produce a startling or original effect. It is especially well developed in the speaking vocabularies of cultured, sophisticated, linguistically rich languages. Characteristically individual, slang often incorporates elements of the jargons of special-interest groups (e.g., professional, sport, regional, criminal, and drug subcultures). Slang words often come from foreign languages or are of a regional nature. Slang is very old, and the reasons for its development have been much investigated. The following is a small sample of American slang descriptive of a broad range of subjects: of madnessâloony, nuts, psycho; of crimeâheist, gat, hit, heat, grifter; of womenâbabe, chick, squeeze, skirt; of menâdude, hombre, hunk; of drunkennessâsloshed, plastered, stewed, looped, trashed, smashed; of drugsâhorse, high, stoned, tripping; of caressingâneck, fool around, make out; of states of mindâuptight, wired, mellow, laid back; the verb to goâscram, split, scoot, tip; miscellaneous phrasesâyou push his buttons, get it together, chill, she does her number, he does his thing, what's her story, I'm not into that.

The goods for HX4356 were inspected today, but only 1740 pcs and 120 pcs [This does not make sense; which is the correct number?]were short. In order to catch the vessel closing tomorrow, please send a guarantee letter to us to make sure the remaining quantities are the same as the golden sample and quality is good.

PS: It is unreasonable to expect all items to be the same as the golden sample.

Re: there is/are going to

Chariot — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 11:42:01 GMT

Thanks. But "buses" follows the verb infinitive "be" :

There is/are going to be more buses on this line. In this sample sentence, "be" remains infinitive regardless the number of the noun that follows.

Did you mean that because "buses" is plural, the "be" that follows "There" should be "are" accordingly? I thought that "buses" is proceeded by "be" infinitive, and thus "buses" does not control the form of "be" in the structure "There be".

Dear Mr. Ahurn,

Re: Sponsorship for Professional MMA Fighter; Kala Kolohe

My name is Ross Hose Jr. (aka; Kala Kolohe). Professionally, I am involved in a sport called MMA; Mixed Martial Arts. My training team is called Team Bad Intentions. We reside in a small town called Wai'anae on the beautiful island of Oahu.

I am writing this letter to kindly ask if your company would like to financially sponsor me and my team. I have been an MMA Fighter for 3 years now. My team plays a huge part of my career. From disiplined cardio workouts to sparing, Team Bad Intentions is number 1. Sporting 4 wins (two KO's and two TKO's) and 1 decision loss I will strive everyday to continuesly want that "number 1 welter wieght" spot. Coming this December 15th, 2007; I, Kala Kolohe, will be featured in the main event competing against Robbie "Ruthless" Lawler. With the help of BSN, I able to compete at top knotch.

Within the past two years of using BSN products, I have never seen such positive results. Out of the many different product brands I've used, BSN is by far the best.

Here in Hawaii, MMA is becomming a very popular sport. Recently, Showtime's Pro Elite XC held an event here in Honolulu called; Uprising. Many top gun fighters were scheduled on this fight card. I was one of those fighters. With the help of BSN Products, I was able to end my competition at 20 seconds of the 1st round. My opponent at 6'2, suffered from broken ribs.

It has occured to me that we could both benefit in some way. I could hlep market all BSN Products to many fans of mine including fans of the MMA World. An example would be to feature your logo on my t-shirts, website, video's, shout outs etc. It will be such an honor being apart of your team!

Becomming a professional MMA Fighter has always been my lifelong dream. I am very passionate about this sport. I live for MMA. I thank my family for their support and last but not least, all of my fans for believing in me.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter.

Re: review

Mister Micawber — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 10:42:45 GMT

You have a good command of Academese, Kebab. I think I've fixed the problems without changing your intent:

A case study entitled "PR Practitionersâ Experiences of, and Attitudes towards, the Internet Crisis Communication", carried out by authors Kristin Fjeld and Mike Molesworth (2006), explores conceptions of what the internet's influence, barriers, promises and limitations might be, if it is used in crisis communication.

Positive internet contributions to crisis communication and internet influence in changing PR practise have not been confirmed unambiguously. The study offers a range of attitudes towards using the internet but with no definite conclusions. Because of the small sample of participants, its results should be used only as a base for other, broader quantitative research (Fjeld, Molesworth, 2006) rather than vague generalization.

The authorsâ comparison of PR theory with PR practise reveals several limitations of the internet. With reference to Grunig and Grunigâs excellent study (cited in Fjeld, Molesworth 2006, p.392) research has shown that PR practitioners are familiar with this theory but sceptical of putting it into practise. Fjeld and Molesworth (2006) provides a number of negative comments from PR practitioners about using the internet in crisis communication in a symmetrical two-way communication model. These [major?] statements support theories of adaptable communication presented by Cameron et al and Cancel et al. With regards to PR practitionersâ experience, Fjeld and Molesworth(2006) deduce that communication in an organization depends on its needs and should be more flexible.

The research was designed as a qualitative unstructured in-depth face-to-face interview (Fjeld, Molesworth, 2006). Data was collected first (Fjeld, Molesworth, 2006), and interviews were conducted between 28 June and 6 August 2004.

The sample consists of ten experienced PR practitioners. Seven of the interviews took place in Norway and three took place in the UK. Table 1(Fjeld, Molesworth, 2006, p.395) in the study shows that seven of the subjects worked in-house and three worked for PR agencies.

Single case study is employed as a research method and analysis from inductive to deductive is implemented.

The authors discover a gap between theory and practise and develop theoretical propositions about the role of the internet in crisis communication.

The authors' attitude is fairly objective, but there is a quite visible research orientation in supporting the importance of the internet's role in crisis communication.

Fjeld and Molesworth (2006) use internal validity to support objectivity of study (the participants had no major objections) and partial study generalisation, which means the identification of categories and themes that are generally apparent in online crisis communication.

Because of this partial generalisation, outcomes should be verifiable in other research settings and if so, the value of their research is supported.

A case study with title PR practitionersâ experiences of, and attitudes towards, the internet crisis communication carried out by authors Kristin Fjeld and Mike Molesworth (2006) explore conceptions if and how is the internet used in crisis communication what is its influence, barriers, promises and limitations.

Internet positive contribution to crisis communication and internet influence to change PR practise, havenât been confirmed unambiguously. The study offered range of attitudes towards using the internet without definite conclusions. Because of small sample of participants, results should be used as a base for another bigger quantitative research (Fjeld, Molesworth, 2006) rather than complex generalization.

Authorsâ comparison of PR theory with PR practise enabled to reveal several limitations of the internet. With reference to Grunig and Grunigâs excellence study (cited in Fjeld, Molesworth 2006, p.392) research has shown that PR practitioners are familiar with this theory, but sceptical to use it in practise. Fjeld and Molesworth (2006) provided the number of negative comments from PR practitioners about using the internet in crisis communication in symmetrical two way communication model. These manor statements support theories of adaptable communication presented by Cameron et al and Cancel et al. With regards to PR practitionersâ experience Fjeld and Molesworth(2006) inducted, that the communication of organization is depending on its needs and it should be more flexible.

Research was designed as qualitative face to face unstructured in-depth interview (Fjeld, Molesworth, 2006).Data was collected primarily (Fjeld, Molesworth, 2006) and interviews were conducted between 28th of Juneand 6^th of August 2004.

Sample consisted of 10 experienced PR practitioners. 7 of interviews took place in Norway and 3 of them took place in UK. Table 1(Fjeld, Molesworth, 2006, p.395) in the study shows that 7 of them worked in-house and 3 of them worked for PR agencies.

Single case study was employed as a research method and analysis from inductive to deductive was implemented.

Authors found gap between theory and practise and developed theoretical propositions about the role of internet in crisis communication.

I recognize authorâs attitude as fairly objective, but there is quite visible research orientation to support important role of internet in crisis communication.

Fjeld and Molesworth (2006) used internal validity to support objectivity of study (participants didnât have any major objections) and partial kind of study generalisation, which means identification of categories and themes that are generally apparent in online crisis communication.

Because of this partial generalisation, outcomes could be verified in other research settings and therefore value of research is supported.
