(SR) (PDF) – Srpski rečnik novijih anglicizama | Tvrtko Prćić et al.
A Serbian dictionary of recent anglicisms
Ovo je bio uvodni odeljak u autorskom predgovoru za Du yu speak anglo-srpski? Rečnik novijih anglicizama (Vasić, Prćić i Nejgebauer 2001, 2011, 2018), pre tačno dvadeset godina. Tokom protekle dve decenije na ovom pla-nu suštinski se ništa nije promenilo, jedino što svega onog ilustrovanog u tom odeljku ima mnogo više: sve noviji i noviji anglicizmi ‘nesmanjenom žestinom’ i dalje pristižu u srpski jezik, gde se u govoru i pisanju, uz minimalne izuzetke, uglavnom koriste proizvoljno, bez ikakvog sistema, dok se anglosrpski ‘jezik’, takođe ‘nesmanjenom žestinom’, i dalje širi i buja u skoro svim sferama današ-nje komunikacije i na svim nivoima upotrebe srpskog jezika. Spontano razvi-jana, i razvijena, ‘pravila’ anglosrpske pseudonorme (kao da) bacaju u zasenak običan, normalan, standardni srpski jezik, koji (kao da) se povlači, ako ne i uzmiče, pred naletom nepisanih i nepismenih, ali sve zastupljenijih, anglosrp-skih jezičkih navika, nastalih, s jedne strane, zbog uticaja engleskog jezika, u savremenom svetu u dvojnoj funkciji opšteg zajedničkog jezika (engl. English as a lingua franca) i odomaćenog stranog jezika (engl. English as the nativi-zed foreign language), i, s druge strane, zbog decenijama dopuštane sistemske nebrige i neodgovornosti prema delatnom učenju, negovanju i znanju valjanog Sadu10srpskog jezika, naročito onih koji su po prirodi svog posla u situaciji da svojim jezičkim ponašanjem i upotrebom jezika mogu da utiču, i redovno utiču, na jezičko ponašnje i upotrebu jezika onih koji ih slušaju ili čitaju.

(SV) – Tvättmaskinsguiden: allt oim att välja tvättmaskin | Cylinda
In med fläckar och smuts. Ut med rena och fräscha kläder. Tvättmaskinen är en av hemmets verkliga hjältar. Men innan du bestämmer dig för modell, fundera först på vad som är viktigast för dig. Det är ju till exempel stor skillnad på om du bor själv eller om ni är en stor familj. Här några bra saker att tänka på.
Beroende på hur många ni är i hushållet och hur ofta ni tvättar har naturligtvis betydelse för vilken maskin som passar dig bäst. De flesta tvättmaskiner rymmer idag 7-8 kg torr tvätt, vilket är väldigt mycket. Som exempel så motsvarar 7 kg tvätt ca 65 st. t-shirts. Även om en maskin kan tvätta stora mängder så är det ändå i slutändan trummans volym i liter som avgör hur mycket tvätt du kan trycka in. Ju större trumvolym desto mer tvätt går in. Välj gärna en tvättmaskin som har så hög centrifugeringshastighet som möjligt, gärna 1600 varv/min, eftersom ett högre varvtal ger torrare tvätt och därmed minskad energiåtgång åt att torka tvätten.

(MULTI) – The Spine App | M. Guentchev & M. Sailer
Patient-physician communication is an integral part of building a therapeutic doctor-patient relationship, which is crucial for the delivery of high-quality health care. A large portion of patient dissatisfaction and many complaints can be attributed to breakdown of the doctor-patient relationship, unrealistic expectations and insufficient information regarding risks and prognosis of the disease (PMID: 21603354).
A multilingual tool for helping patients around the globe suffering from spine disease. By providing detailed background information The Spineapp aims at improving the transfer of complex medical knowledge from medical professionals to patients and ultimately help prepare the patient for a consultation with a spine specialist.
Medicine is an ever-changing science. As new research and clinical experience broaden our knowledge, changes in treatment are required. The authors of the Spine App have checked with sources believed to be reliable in their efforts to provide information that is complete and generally in accord with the standards accepted at the time of publication. However, there is a possibility of human error or changes in medical sciences. Thus, readers are encouraged to confirm the information contained herein with other sources (e.g. drug information sheets, textbooks or research papers). Since our goal is to constantly improve The Spine App we are open to suggestions for improving the content.

(EN) – The Century Dictionary Online | Jeffery A. Triggs
A number of people have asked us why we have gone to all this trouble to put a hundred-year-old dictionary on the World Wide Web. The answer can be summed up in three words: it’s free, it’s big, and it’s beautiful. Not long after I finished working for the Oxford English Dictionary and started working with the DjVu development group at AT&T Labs, I realized that the DjVu format offered exciting, new possibilities for publishing dictionaries and other large-scale reference works online. A handful of experimental samples that I created for the DjVu Zone website confirmed this, and my wife and I began to consider how, with limited personal resources and working in our spare time, something on this scale might actually be done. Obviously, we needed a text in the public domain, and several candidates immediately suggested themselves.
We could have chosen (and indeed might still do someday) an early dictionary of chiefly historical interest, such as Dr. Johnson’s, the early Webster’s, or Joseph Worcester’s dictionaries. All these texts are relatively small, which might have made the digitization process easier, but such works are of interest and use chiefly to scholars and would arouse only limited curiosity among the general public.
