Avoiding the word “help” · Eric Eggert

I frequently see the word “help” used in accessibility, and I don’t like it. This is certainly a personal gripe, but I want to share my …

Looking for costume/dress/terminology help. What would this be called? It's a heavy/stiffened shoulder piece, not joined under the arms, same shape and size front/back. The metal loops will hold strands of beads, ribbons, etc. It's a little like a bib or a gorget, but not quite. (This isn't historical costuming, I made this for a trashion show. I'd like a better name for it than "the shoulder part".) #costume #dress #vocabulary #garment #terminology

We call decades "the eighties," "the nineties," etc.

The decade between 2000 and 2009 is "the noughties".

Please help spread the use of this term.
It's the most accurate and simplest term, plus, it's fun!

Ennobled in 1892.)

I think the real answer is .. it depends.

There’s really no way to know what someone means when they use that term. Just the term “CMS” can mean so many different things to different people. To me, a “headless CMS” is just a CMS without a UI, thus you’d use an API to drive it. But the purpose and functionality of that thing is totally up for grabs.

If someone referred to one of these things, I’d ask them to tell me about the features and a use case.

As I found out the videos of the 2nd #Base4NFDI roadshow are now online. If you are interested in #ontology or #terminology integration to web services you could have a look into our demo presentation about the #Terminology Service Suite (TSS). We integrated there two widgets of the TSS to a data repository and created in this way a #semantic search engine and #FAIRdata
