piled or stacked paper or other media containing information, ordered
by letters or numbers or not ordered. communication: exchange
of utterances among persons, animals, or electronic devices. Common
when someone wants to achieve something or make his point or presence
clear. Widely in use. Example: Welcome back Thomas Bagge. If you
are not Thomas Bagge please click
here. Danish: 1) being a person from Denmark, 2)

double Dutch: 1) nonsense, 2) two persons on one bike, 3)
a foreigner in The Netherlands working on total assimilation. encyclopaedia:
(Greek: enkyklios + paideia: ring of education). The collection
of all available theoretical and practical knowledge in general
or within a certain topic at a certain time. The information in
an encyclopaedia is always out of date. explanation: adding
meaning to something (but not necessarily understanding it). index:
list of names, topics, titles etc. in books, archives, or libraries
making the search for information easier. The value of traditional
indexes is rapidly decreasing since the introduction of electronic
game consoles and SMS messaging on cellular phones where only the
thumb is being used. This has weakened the functioning of the index
finger and made the search for information on index cards or lists
very slow and clumsy. For the same reason the design of door bells
is being changed.
