Slang and jargon are both informal vocabularies, but differ in their usage. Slang refers to informal words used in certain social contexts, while jargon consists of specialized terminology used within a particular field or profession. Jargon aims to precisely define terms for practitioners of a discipline, whereas slang is more casual and seeks to identify social groups through novel word usages. Both can evolve over time, with some slang terms becoming standard language and jargon spreading more widely as fields grow in popularity.
This document provides strategies and examples for determining the meaning of unknown words using context clues. It discusses 9 different strategies:
1. A sentence may contain the definition of the word.
2. Additional context helps understand the word's meaning even without an explicit definition.
3. Unknown words can be understood by their relationship to known synonyms or antonyms.
4. Prior knowledge about a topic can provide context for understanding a word.
5. Word roots, prefixes and suffixes provide clues to a word's meaning.
6. A word's part of speech provides limitations on possible meanings.
7. Punctuation like commas and semicolons can indicate definitions or explanations.
Here are three sentences summarizing the key points of the lesson in my own words:
1) Etymology is the study of the origins and history of words, including when they entered the language, their root sources, and how their meanings have changed over time.
2) Understanding word roots is important for determining a word's basic meaning, as roots generally come from Latin or Greek and carry the core definition that can't be broken down further.
3) The English language is constantly evolving with new words being added and existing words taking on new meanings, so learning etymology provides context about where words came from and how their usages have developed.

Here are some key points about slang from the document:
- Slang is informal vocabulary that is nonstandard and not universally recognized. It is used among members of a particular social or age group.
- Slang originates from subcultures in societies like occupational groups, teenagers, racial minorities, drug addicts, and criminals. It is also influenced by mass media like movies, TV, music, and fashion.
- Slang is variable depending on region, gender, and time period. While most slang disappears quickly, some terms do become standardized.
- Slang is created through playing with words using techniques like rhyming, shortening words, borrowing from other languages, reversing meanings, and creative spelling
Phonological changes in speech occur through omission and assimilation as sounds are made easier to articulate over time. Societal changes like increased mobility and mass communication have also led to less regional variation and the informalization of language in media. While some see these changes as a natural process, others view them as a decline in "correct" speech.

Jargons are commonly used in trades, professions, sports and casual groups to give a sense of belonging, though they can also make outsiders feel excluded. Examples of jargons include binomial nomenclature used in biology to formally name species, and chemical nomenclature used by chemists to systematically name compounds without ambiguity. While corporate jargons like "24*7" and "CxO" are sometimes criticized for obscuring meaning, they can also create shared understanding among colleagues when used effectively.

A guide to the differences between american english and british englishSalah Abdelsalam
This document provides an introduction to the major differences between British and American English, including spelling, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and culture. It explains that while the two varieties are largely mutually intelligible, there are noticeable differences in accent, terminology, idioms, syntax, and spelling. Many of these divergences developed as the American colonists adapted the English language to their new environment, incorporating words from indigenous languages and immigrant groups. Over time, American English preserved some archaic features and underwent innovations, while British English continued changing independently back in Britain. Noah Webster played a key role in promoting distinctively American spellings. Today, with American cultural influence spreading globally, many British words and expressions are being influenced by American English.

Received Pronunciation, also known as the Queen's English or BBC English, is identified as having the highest status pronunciation in the UK due to its association with the South-East of England and middle classes. The document questions whether Received Pronunciation is still considered high status and if using it gives one more power. Finally, it notes that speech and language codes contribute to social identity and influence how others perceive us, with potential consequences like affecting employment decisions.
Dictionaries are references that list words in alphabetical order along with their meanings, pronunciations, and origins. There are two main types - descriptive dictionaries that describe language usage and prescriptive dictionaries that prescribe proper usage. Dictionaries are used to learn new words, check definitions and spellings, and understand word origins. They contain entries with parts like definitions, pronunciations, and examples. The earliest known dictionaries date back to 2300 BCE in ancient Mesopotamia. The first English dictionary was published in 1604 by Robert Cawdrey. Noah Webster's 1828 dictionary was influential in standardizing American English.
Scottish English resulted from language contact between Scots and Standard English after the 17th century. It was influenced by events like the Reformation, the introduction of printing, King James VI becoming King James I of England and moving his court to London, and the Acts of Union in 1707. Scottish English has distinct phonological, grammatical, and lexical features compared to other English varieties. Phonologically, it is mostly rhotic and distinguishes vowels before /r/ that other dialects have merged. Grammatically, it uses progressive verb forms more and different prepositions. Lexically, it has inherited words from Scots and Gaelic and uses diminutives like "-ie".
Education 3.0 represents a shift in education away from traditional models towards a more socially constructed, contextually reinvented approach. In Education 3.0, the meaning of education is constructed socially rather than dictated, technology is embraced as part of a digital universe rather than something digital immigrants struggle with, and teaching is done through co-construction between teachers and students rather than a traditional progressive approach. Schools are located everywhere rather than just in physical buildings, parents view schools as places they can learn as well, teachers come from all backgrounds, and hardware/software costs are lower through open source options. Industry sees graduates as entrepreneurs rather than just assembly line workers. We are all co-inventing the future of education as "white belts

Notes Included: A Thought becomes an idea becomes a dream, a movement and meme.
We need to focus on what can be, what will be not WHAT IS.
A thought becomes an idea or dream, becomes a meme (collective idea, or collective mind virus) it spreads following small world math 6 degrees through a population. Poverty is a Mind Virus a meme, a consciousness and a way of life.
Any marketer worth his salt knows that 80% or so of the population react to a pain versus 20% being proactive. This means 80% of people want to loose weight versus 20% getting in shape. This means 80% of people want to Get out of debt now, versus 20% of people wanting to invest for the future.
Well I am here to say, we can stop the pain. We can get out of debt now, and we can solve the problems facing us today. Innovation, that spark is the only way. Not the government, not an industry, that spark starts with us, right here and right now.
