Oracle AppsLab: Remember Rockwell?

  • Vincent · 2 years ago
    I do remember Rockwell and his song and glad you mention it. One thing I want to ask is, I hope this not taken peronaly or too picky, what about using more plain English... for lots of non-native English speakers who are inspired by your postings. For example, I couldn't find the meaning "foxy" in the dictionary I have but only in Urban Dictionary. (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=...)

    (BTW, I think Urban Dictionary is another 2.0 example)

    Sorry about that. I've misspelled moxie, which you can find in Webster's here:

    Thanks for noticing that.

    You're right about the Urban Dictionary, although I think its contributors fall into a more narrow demographic than say the Wikipedia's do, making it less broadly useful.

    Still, good example of New Web.
