Jargon?! Are There Any Definitions You're Not Sure Of?

Thursday September 25, 2008

Over at my personal blog, I keep a "word collection"- sort of a scrapbook of quotes and etc. I know it's odd- but I love words. Now, here at About.com, some of the words we use may throw you for a loop. There is a little learning curve in this business, just like any other. Tonight, I added the words copy, copywriting and kill fee to this site's dictionary. Is there anything else that's lacking? Let me know if there's a term that has always confused you or left you with an incomplete definition. I'll see what I can come up with!

I can’t think of anything else right now, but I do want to say that that list has been a great help to me. I’ve consulted it more than once, and if I come across something I’m not sure of, I will be sure to ask you to add it in.

Thanks for maintaining this blog - it was the very first place I started when I decided to pursue freelance writing just over a year ago. I now visit it weekly.

Jen, I gotta admit, you make me want to do a dorky little happy dance :) Thanks for the compliments, which made my day!
