Word watching and common errors
No surprise that following Daphne‘s newsletter of last week that she was deluged with more “websites for word geeks”. Below is list of some of them — really recommended.
I also came across a very enjoyable list of Ten Common but Easily Corrected (language) Errors — and son of — which are both instructive and a bit of a giggle.
Now then, I love CXPartners, I really do. They’ve done some great usability testing work for us recently, and their new website is a real winner.
But the language gaffes that blighted the previous site remain. Check out the third par of this page: http://www.cxpartners.co.uk/whatwedo/services/wireframes/
To quote the advice in the previous link: “When you intently study a book, you pore over it. If you pour over it, you are going to have a soggy book”. Tehe.
- Word Spy — a more offbeat, contemporary approach to word of the day
- Common English errors (she must have read my last post! ;-)
- Cliche Finder — make sure your writing is free of cliches….
- Idea book – for the creatively challenged
- Bubble.us — mindmapping tool
