TAKING ON THE WORD PIRATES --
Word pirates? They're the ones Dan Gillmor and David Weinberger set out to fight at http://www.wordpirates.com.
As they put it, "Marketers, politicians and other short-sighted, self-interested, sticky-fingered people have been stealing our words. Not only do they take them for commercial purposes, but they misuse them entirely."
The site gives visitors a chance to laugh or nod at the words listed and to vent by adding words or phrases and comments.
One of the entries that hit home: "CHAI TEA: Chai is the Hindi word for tea! When you ask for a cup of 'chai tea' you are asking for a cup of tea tea! -- submitted by Asha"
The pirates will probably win this and most of the other battles. http://www.wordpirates.com/

ANNUAL REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY
2011 Annual Report to the Community --
Peel District School Board, Mississauga, ON ...
"Superb, intuitive navigation in a clean, appealing, easy-reading layout offers easily digested copy 'chunks' packed with illustrations, charts, graphs and photos -- and plenty of links and opportunities to give feedback. Very effective, and very hard to ignore -- which is the whole point."
