Netiquette For Kids - New Internet Language And Accepted Words Due To Kids

This blog and my books contain a great deal of information on the changes which communications over the Internet have manifested. Some of these are temporary and others will be far-reaching. Most of us understand that once words make it into a respected dictionary, they have essentially been accepted.

Below is a nice article showing what the children's dictionaries of the Oxford University Press have done. Which other words do you believe will make it into these pages?

Natural world words removed from children's dictionary for computer and internet terms

By Gloucestershire Echo  |  Posted: March 01, 2015

 The new edition of the Oxford Junior dictionary has deleted a whole host of words, many of them related to the natural world and the environment to make room for technological terms.

Children will no longer be able to look up the spelling and meaning of words like blackberry, ash, beech, minnow. And also taken out are heraldic words such as coronation, duchess, emperor, duke, monarch and minister.

Replacing them are a whole host of terms from the virtual world of computers and the internet: block-graph, blog, MP3 player, database and attachment. Oh, and celebrity.

According to Vineeta Gupta, who heads children’s dictionaries at Oxford University Press, changes in the world are responsible for changes in the book. “When you look back at older versions of dictionaries, there were lots of examples of flowers for instance,” she said. “That was because many children lived in semi-rural environments and saw the seasons. Nowadays, the environment has changed.”

The 10,000 words and phrases in the junior dictionary were selected using several criteria, including how often words would be used by young children.

Words taken out:

Coronation, duchess, duke, emperor, empire, monarch, decade, carol, cracker, holly, ivy, mistletoe, dwarf, elf, goblin, abbey, aisle, altar, bishop, chapel, christen, disciple, minister, monastery, monk, nun, nunnery, parish, pew, psalm, pulpit, saint, sin, devil, vicar.

Adder, ass, beaver, boar, budgerigar, bullock, cheetah, colt, corgi, cygnet, doe, drake, ferret, gerbil, goldfish, guinea pig, hamster, heron, herring, kingfisher, lark, leopard, lobster, magpie, minnow, mussel, newt, otter, ox, oyster, panther, pelican, piglet, plaice, poodle, porcupine, porpoise, raven, spaniel, starling, stoat, stork, terrapin, thrush, weasel, wren.

Acorn, allotment, almond, apricot, ash, bacon, beech, beetroot, blackberry, blacksmith, bloom, bluebell, bramble, bran, bray, bridle, brook, buttercup, canary, canter, carnation, catkin, cauliflower, chestnut, clover, conker, county, cowslip, crocus, dandelion, diesel, fern, fungus, gooseberry, gorse, hazel, hazelnut, heather, holly, horse chestnut, ivy, lavender, leek, liquorice, manger, marzipan, melon, minnow, mint, nectar, nectarine, oats, pansy, parsnip, pasture, poppy, porridge, poultry, primrose, prune, radish, rhubarb, sheaf, spinach, sycamore, tulip, turnip, vine, violet, walnut, willow

Words put in:

Blog, broadband, MP3 player, voicemail, attachment, database, export, chatroom, bullet point, cut and paste, analogue.

Celebrity, tolerant, vandalism, negotiate, interdependent, creep, citizenship, childhood, conflict, common sense, debate, EU, drought, brainy, boisterous, cautionary tale, bilingual, bungee jumping, committee, compulsory, cope, democratic, allergic, biodegradable, emotion, dyslexic, donate, endangered, Euro.

Apparatus, food chain, incisor, square number, trapezium, alliteration, colloquial, idiom, curriculum, classify, chronological, block graph

Netiquette Standards - Checklist for an Email—A Set of Standards for Your NIQ Process

“Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward.”

—Vernon Law

Checklist for an Email—A Set of Standards for Your NIQ Process

Before sending out emails, get into the habit of reviewing the following areas:

1.   Recipients (sometimes you may wish to do this last)

a.   Are there any people included in the Reply All list that don’t need to be?

b.   Is there anyone missing from the Reply All list?

2.   Subject field

a.   Is the description in the message relevant to the subject at hand?

b.   Check for capitalization and punctuation.

c.   Check for spam triggers.

d.   Are there between three and nine words?

e.   Did you mention any connections, referrals or other elements that you might have in common with the person you’re writing to?

3.   Attachments

a.   Insert attachments. Some senders do this before entering the recipient. This method, as mentioned earlier, is recommended.

b.   Are your attachments properly named and identified in the email?

c.   How many attachments are there?

d.   What size are they?

e.   Are attachments in a common format that other senders will be able to open (e.g., .doc, .jpg)?

4.   Salutation

a.   If using a person’s title (e.g., Mr., Ms., Dr.), is it the appropriate one?

b.   Check the spelling of personal names!

c.   Did you use nicknames? If so, make sure they are acceptable to the recipient. Do not assume this is the case.

5.   Preview window

a.   Are some keywords visible? Keywords are words important to an industry that you feel the recipient will be looking for.

b.   Does the document have a good, crisp appearance?

c.   Are there any attention-generating items?

6.   First paragraph

a.   Is the purpose of the message stated right away?

b.   Does the stated purpose match the subject line?

c.   Have power words mainly been used? (See Appendix B.)

d.   Have all idioms, clichés, and slang been avoided?

7.   Body of text

a.   Are the paragraphs overly long (eight or more sentences)?

b.   Are the paragraphs too short (one to three sentences)?

c.   Do sentences transition well when you change topics?

d.   Have enough power words been used?

8.   Review

a.   Does your email achieve the promise of the subject line?

b.   Have you tested all links?

9.   Closing

a.   Is your closing paragraph too informal?

b.   Does your closing paragraph convey anything negative?

c.   Are you lacking a closing paragraph?

d.   Have you thanked the appropriate person?

e.   Consider asking if your email has fully accomplished its intent.

10.    Signature

a.   Did you include full contact information for yourself?

b.   Is your signature free of messages, slogans, and unnecessary graphics?

c.       Does the format of your signature match the text format, font size, and other elements?

d.   Did your closing paragraph accidentally become part of the signature block? Is there spacing between the two?
