Anagram

I used to use very useful and easy to use software, which is “Babylon”. It’s a translating tool that employs a great amount of dictionaries (or glossaries as it prefer to call them) to provide users with multiple meaning resources or choices. The dictionaries are so many, you can download as many as you want to use on your computer, or you can subscribe to them to find words meanings while you’re on-line.

One time, I was browsing those dictionaries on the Babylon website when I stumbled with a glossary called “Anagram”; which muddle up my eyebrows! I downloaded it to see what it does! When it was installed and ready to use, I clicked the word “download” to see what will this glossary give me, but I was surprised of the result; it was a single word, which is “woodland”, isn’t it funny!

I tried it on a couple of other word like: “abroad” was converted into “aboard”, “note” to “tone”, “dormitory” to “dirty room”, and a phrase like “television set” was converted into “see? It’s violent!” In a matter of fact, it was a fun glossary, it anagrammatize the word if possible. It doesn’t anagrammatize the word, for real! It looks for it if it has an anagram or not.

Attitude

One time, while I was in the class, my teacher was talking about a person’s attitude. She kept on repeating this word with different examples, but for unknown reason I didn’t get it.

Actually, I got it, but I couldn’t translate it into my native language. I think the reason behind this was her examples themselves. She was doing very well on describing what does attitude means. First, she told us that one’s attitude is mainly affected by his culture and the environment he lives within; I got from this that attitude refers to one’s mentality or thinking manner and believes. But somebody from the class said that he has the attitude that the situation out there is inconvenient; by this I started to get confused, what does attitude really mean?

After a few days I was researching the word to realized that it means one general meaning; it’s one’s settled way of thinking, which is, in other words, his believes, that control his behavior and feelings toward the surrounding environment and different situations he’d be in, and direct his path through his life.

Amnesia

It’s nice when a post lead to another! I’ve talked within the previous post about the amnesia, where this is a new word for me.

Actually, I was going to write that Jason has lost his memory; knowing that this would give the very correct meaning. But amnesia is more explanatory for his real situation. He was injured; his injury caused him to lose his memory. Therefore, I ought to use a word that is illustrative.
