Question by pritanis: How can the PC shows a Dictionary like a hard disk?
The dictionary is Ectaco 19EE multilingual.When you connect the device via USB its only to charge the battery.

Best answer:

Answer by Bryce F
The device cannot be read as a hard drive. It has to do with the programming of the device. You can look in the manual and see if there is a way to make it be recognized as an external drive, but chances are, it is not possible.

Answer by reedmiranda18
Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis.ogg – a factitious word alleged to mean ‘a lung disease caused by the inhalation of very fine silica dust found in volcanoes’ but occurring chiefly as an instance of a very long word.”[1]. It was coined to serve as the longest English word and is the longest word ever to appear in an English language dictionary. This 45-letter word, referred to as P45[2], first appeared in the 1939 supplement to the Merriam-Webster New International Dictionary, Second Edition[3]. It is listed in the current edition of several dictionaries.[4] A condition meeting the word’s definition is normally called silicosis.

What can one do with the (stand alone) pond in the Sage Dictionary thesaurus software program?

Filed under: Dictionary — タグ: , , , , , , , — admin @ 5:38 AM

Question by Peggy: What can one do with the (stand alone) pond in the Sage Dictionary thesaurus software program?
When you open the Sage Dictionary, to the right is a small pond that is given as a gift. It does cute little things, it is so small and it vanishes once you type in a word. I would like to make it bigger or just keep it on the screen. I would also like to take it to documents as I type to create atmosphere.

Best answer:

Answer by Robin B
It is best to think of TheSage as two different systems: a knowledge database and a multi-tool interface. The knowledge database consists of a tightly integrated English dictionary and thesaurus.

The dictionary comprises:

* Multiple detailed definitions (+210,000).
* Examples of usage (+50,000).
* Phonetic transcriptions (+70,000).
* Encyclopedic information (geographical, historical, political,…).
* Academic knowledge (medicine, biology,…).

The thesaurus encompasses:

* Synonyms, antonyms, hypernyms, hyponyms, meronyms, holonyms,…
* Approximately 1,400,000 relationships between definitions.

The interface allows the user to extract of information from the knowledge database in a variety of ways. This is accomplished by means of the following tools:

* Lookup tool (section 4.1 in the docs) – To look up a word or words in TheSage’s Dictionary, type it (or them) and then click on ‘LookUp’. Alternatively, type the word(s) and then simply press ENTER.

Dictionary and reference books for learning Greek classics?

Filed under: Dictionary — タグ: , , , , , — admin @ 5:58 PM

Question by Dude: Dictionary and reference books for learning Greek classics?
I want to learn to read the Greek classics. I already know 5 languages, so feel comfortable teaching myself. Anyone who has taken such a course, what is a good dictionary to have on hand or source book to learn the grammar? I have tried looking at college course lists, but they never list these, only the books to read in Greek.

Best answer:

Answer by OvidsNose
THE lexicon is Liddell & Scott from Oxford Press.
Liddell (accented like “little”) was Alice’s (of Alice in Wonderland fame) father.
It comes in three sizes: the Little Liddell, the Middle Liddell, and the Big Liddell.
Go for the Middle Liddell (officially “An Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon”).

For Grammars, the two main ones are Goodwin’s and Smyth’s.
I would recommend Goodwin. But Smyth is good to have as a second opinion.

I would also highly recommend Marinone & Guala’s “Complete Handbook of Greek Verbs.”
Greek verbs can be tough (e.g. you add an “e-” at the beginning for past tenses and if the root word began with a vowel, the first vowel changes. So if you come across a verb in your reading that begins with an eta (long e), the root word may have begun with an “a”, an “e”, or an eta, and it can take some time to figure out the word you are even looking to look up.) I picked up my copy at Schoenhof’s in Harvard Sq., Cambridge, MA., but I’m sure you can find it online- it’s a life/time saver.

If you are looking for a great introductory text, try Benner’s “Selections from Homer’s Iliad” (Irvington Publishers, NY). Its notes are geared for a new student.

How come the dictionary definition of feminism does not include legal equality?

Filed under: Dictionary — タグ: , , , , , , — admin @ 4:54 PM

Question by Wagon Wheel: How come the dictionary definition of feminism does not include legal equality?
Certain types like to run to the dictionary to “prove” that feminism is for equality. Social, political and economic equality. How come no legal equality?

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/feminism

Barbara,

If legal falls under social, then political should also fall under social.

Best answer:

Answer by Barbara
Legal falls under social.

Edit: Yeah, so would economics. Just trying to say that the word social covers a lot of things, law included.
