"Wiktionary is a multilingual, Web-based project to create a free content dictionary, available in over 151 languages. Unlike standard dictionaries, it is written collaboratively by volunteers, dubbed "Wiktionarians", using wiki software, allowing articles to be changed by almost anyone with access to the website."
Well, I didn't know about this fact: "Despite Wiktionary's large number of entries, most of the entries and many of the definitions at the project's largest language editions were created by bots that found creative ways to generate entries or (rarely) automatically imported thousands of entries from previously published dictionaries." To read more about the wiktionary project: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikt Bot: (computing) a computer program that performs a particular task again and again many times. Wiki: A collaborative website which can be directly edited by anyone with access to it. Well, here the Wiktionary main page: http://en.wiktionary.org/ Well, I think these light versions of wiktionary and wikipedia can be useful for our learning purposes: http://simple.wiktionary.org/ http://simple.wikipedia.org Regards, Pablo --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ESL Podcast".
