Well, the United States now has a new president. Scott, Nick, and Chloe watched the full inaugural speech this morning, and I heard bits and pieces as I was looking for Chinese dictionaries in Oberlin’s library. In honor of his ascendancy, I give you the Chinese characters for Obama: 欧巴马!
In other news, Nick and Scott have been working hard, continuing to redesign everything from the ground up. Scott’s made a lot of changes to the website and Nick has been cleaning up our dictionary, so there will be lots of improvements when we finally upload the rearchitected site.
I’ve been working on creating some custom word lists for everyone. I’ve read through the related forum post on the topic, and have been working on the following categories:
Programming Terms
Computer Hardware
Science Terms
Internet Words
Bathroom Words
Professions
Transportation
School
Music Instruments
Clothing
Food/Restaurant
Colloquialisms/common expressions
If I’m missing any that you’d like, let me know and we’ll upload your requests with the rest of the new lists.
