The Choctaw Expression Okeh and the Americanism Okay The question "For what English language phrase using standard English and documented the public record was 'O.K.' first used as an acronym?" was, of course, a perfectly valid question, and one that civilized, English speaking, liberally educated scholars could deal with very comfortably. Read's discovery of "Old Kinderhook" seems to be the first standard English language phrase reduced to the acronym "O.K" in the public record. And while Heflin had argued vigorously for a cautious acceptance of the 1815 Richardson citation, it is evident in publications and private correspondence that he never ever considered the possiblity that the "OK" might have ever been anything other than an acronym for an English language expression. www.prairienet.org /prairienations/ok.htm   (14254 words)

Pseudo Non-English Usage: " Pseudo " is also a word in the following languages with English translations in parentheses. Pseudos analyze thousands of words of text of a forum member's postings, and generate randomly new posts from that data that are supposed to resemble a satire on the forum participant's style. Pseudos have been used in the past to post flames and fool forum participants into thinking one of their own has adopted an additional screenname and used it to flame. www.websters-dictionary-online.net /definition/english/ps/pseudo.html   (787 words)

Why the riots not followed temple attack? Equally surprised on nonoccurance of riots are Anti-India propaganda elements in western media, Pseudo secular and left biased Indian English media and so-called (Pseudo) secularists. Surprisingly, after temple attack, the pseudo secularists and English media did not do what they did after Godhra attack. Instead of condemning the incident, the Pseudo secularists interpreted that the victims themselves were responsible for the murder, since the victims were Hindu and belonged to RSS. www.indiacause.com /columns/OL_092802.htm   (787 words)

Lit Press: Series - Aramaic Bible: The Targums Scholars of both Jewish and Christian communities of the English-speaking world have given awarm welcome to the series, which is filling a large gap in the body of Targums available in English. The attribution, by the Babylonian Talmud, of this Targum to Jonathan ben Uzziel is suspect on several counts: among others, the silence concerning Jonathan in the parallel passage in the Palestinian Talmud, and the fanciful suggestion that Onkelos=A...

Renaissance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For example: marxist historians view the Renaissance as a pseudo-revolution with the changes in art, literature, and philosophy affecting only a tiny minority of the very wealthy and powerful while life for the great mass of the European population was unchanged from the Middle Ages. The Italian Renaissance was intertwined with the intellectual movement known as Renaissance humanism and with the fiercely independent and combative urban societies of the city-states of central and northern Italy in the 13th to 16th centuries. According to the usual description, the Italian Renaissance of the 15th century, spreading through the rest of Europe, represented a reconnection of the west with classical antiquity, the absorption of knowledge—particularly mathematics—from Arabic, the return of experimentalism, the focus on the importance of living well in the present (e.g. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Renaissance   (2771 words)

Pseudo-Anglicism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Many speakers of a language which employs pseudo-Anglicisms believe that the relevant words are genuine Anglicisms and can be used in English. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Pseudo-Anglicism   (1338 words)

Anglicisms in French and Spanish The 'pseudo' nature of certain forms may well not be recognised by native French speakers, who are likely to assume they are genuine English forms, and to be surprised if, say, a real live anglophone fails to understand 'le baby-foot' ('table football'). Anglicisms and pseudo-anglicisms are scarcely a new phenomenon in French, as such long-established usages as 'le dandy' and 'le smoking' (for 'dinner-jacket') attest. The issue of anglicisms now appears in France as an aspect of a much broader problem, namely the identity of Europe and its defence against perceived US domination in the economic, political and cultural fields. www.seikilos.com.ar /Anglicisms.html   (4790 words)

Pseudo-science and Race The 19th century English scientist most particularly, imagined that biological science (a la Darwin) and philosophy (a la Spencer) had provided a method for escaping a society of human making: surely, science could save us by showing us the right, the natural, the biologically correct method of surviving as the fittest. Science is not and cannot be a source of moral authority but the pretense that science can be represents a politically appealing proposition that has become, over the years, a basis for an ongoing campaign to establish a scientific rationale for political and racial oppression. Science faculty members must, therefore, be convinced of the appropriateness and rich advantages of bringing into their fields members who are not necessarily reflections of themselves. www.math.buffalo.edu /mad/special/pseudoscience-race.html   (8220 words)

drama The origins of drama as we know it are more the concern of anthropologists because drama and religious ritual seem to have been bound up with one another in the earlier stages of all civilizations. Liturgical drama, confined to the church and designed to embellish the ecclesiastical ritual, thus gave way to plays in English, performed in the open and separated from the liturgy though still religious in subject matter. Seneca's works were translated into English by Jasper Heywood and others in the mid-16th century, and they greatly influenced the direction of drama on the English stage. athena.english.vt.edu /~jmooney/renmats/drama.htm   (4617 words)

Germish: Information From Answers.com Some German words look and sound like anglicisms, but do not actually exist in English, or have a different meaning. Even some of the traditionally conservative companies tend to adopt neologisms that they consider to sound more international than their original German counterparts. The word "Kundendienst" (customer service), in contrast, has almost completely fallen out of use now (probably because it actually sounds like more of an effort to German ears than the rather noncommittal "service"). big5.xinhuanet.com /gate/big5/www.answers.com/topic/germish   (1715 words)

The Peking Duck: Shengyou peasants triumph over "hired thugs" A peculiar hybrid of personal journal, dilettantish punditry, pseudo-philosophy and much more, from an Accidental Expat who has made his way from Hong Kong to Beijing to Singapore, and finally back home to America for reasons that are still not entirely clear to him... You have the peasant and migrant workers who are not on the take in general (because they don't have the connections or any position to sell) just trying to live their lifes, but being educated by the media as to rights against a greedy and thoroughly corrupt system and corrupt high powered people. And I have a feeling there are many, many other examples that we simply never hear of because they're so out of the way. pekingduck.org /archives/002533.php   (1715 words)

Amazon.ca: The New Tibetan-English Dictionary of Modern Tibetan: Books Moreover, whereas virtually every widely available "Dharma" dictionary is put together by a pseudo-scholar, and is full of laughably incorrect glosses/definitions for a high percentage of terms, this dictionary -- compiled by a genuine scholar of Tibetan -- rarely has off the mark definitions. Then they should create an English-Tibetan counterpart for this work which would demonstrate compassion towards those of us who have no intent of becoming Lotsawas. The dictionary lists lexical items characteristic of the special written genre that was used by Tibetan government officials up to 1959 as well as new terminology used in the Tibetan exile communities in South Asia. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/0520204379   (1090 words)
