	What is an idiom?
		Individual components of an idiom can often be inflected in the same way individual words in a phrase can be inflected.
		Metaphors satisfy the first requirement for an idiom, that their meaning be obscure, but not the second, that they not be productive.
		Collocates may have restricted lexical possibilities or use archaic vocabulary such that they are not productive, but their meaning is not opaque.

	Idiom - definition from Biology-Online.org (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Idiom may be employed loosely and figuratively as a synonym of language or dialect, but in its proper sense it signifies the totality of the general rules of construction which characterise the syntax of a particular language and distinguish it from other tongues.
		An expression conforming or appropriate to the peculiar structural form of a language; in extend use, an expression sanctioned by usage, having a sense peculiar to itself and not agreeing with the logical sense of its structural form; also, the phrase forms peculiar to a particular author.
		The idioms of a language belong to its very structure; its dialects are varieties of expression ingrafted upon it in different localities or by different professions.

	Idiom at AllExperts
		In linguistics, idioms are widely assumed to be figures of speech that contradict the principle of compositionality.
		Idioms are, in essence, often colloquial metaphors â" terms which require some foundational knowledge, information, or experience, to use only within a culture where parties must have common reference.
		While many idioms are clearly based in conceptual metaphors such as "time as a substance", "time as a path", "love as war" or "up is more", the idioms themselves are often not particularly essential, even when the metaphors themselves are.

	Designing with Idiom > Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Idiom is an object model based interactive system design method that supports the design of system scope, content, functionality, and interactivity.
		The development of Idiom started in 1991; the method was later used in several small projects and one larger project (ten people for one year).
		The new Idiom has subsequently been used, with greater emphasis on participative design and paper prototyping than is recorded here, for an Idiom tool support project where two designers worked together, sometimes in participatory design sessions with users, for one month.

	Overview of Idioms
		In user interfaces, an idiom is a set of components configured in a standardized way to provide a particular appearance and behavior.
		Just as idioms in a spoken language (such as "giving up" in English) have a meaning that cannot be derived from that of their individual words, idioms in the Java look and feel have usefulness that cannot be derived from that of their individual JFC components.
		An example of an widely used idiom is the Browse idiom, shown in Figure 43.

	The Canonical Object Idiom
		You may adopt this idiom in your own programming practice, or, if you are developing a set of style guidelines for a team or organization, you may want to make the idiom part of those guidelines.
		The intent of the idiom is not to force programmers to endow every object with this baseline functionality, but simply to define a default functionality for every object.
		In addition, knowledge of this idiom should make your fellow programmers feel a vague sense of guilt in their attempts to avoid thinking about these issues when they design a class.

	Activity 1C: Ageless Idioms in Spanish
		Ask the students if any one of them knows what the idiom means or what the literal translation of the idiom would be in English.

		On airplanes, the throttle control handles and the fuel mixture are often topped with grips that are ball shaped, thus referring to pilots as "balls." If you push the ball forward close to the front wall of the cockpit your result would be a top speed.
		Through various springs and other devices, this allows the engine to maintain an almost constant speed as the load on the generator changes.
