Let's start a discussion thread, user to user.

July 25th, 2007

Seriously who talks like that? Unfortunately too many of us that build web apps speak this way through the copy we use on our sites. Trey Reeme recently re-inspired me to stop talking like a techie and start talking like a human.

So I’m trying to do better, but it’s not all that easy. I’ve been in tech-land a long time. So I thought I’d start a personal “techie to human dictionary” to help me out. You can checkout this page to see where I’m at. (Don’t get your hopes up, there’s only 4 entries.)

I’d much appreciate any feedback or ideas! I’d really like to see this thing be a real resource…so let’s get started.

    It’s because I can only understand words with a four syllable max. :)

    Good idea and I agree with it completely.

    Side point: Like the blog and theme.
