Greetings, colleagues, Here's a little conundrum for this slow time: A colleague is currently developing a "THING" that will help students learn idioms. It works on a computer. It is interactive and is multi-media based. It will be stored on a CD-ROM. What shall the colleague call this thing? Is it software or is it a program? Dictionaries seem to make no distinction. (Later on, when this colleague is up for tenure, what kind of publication would this be called?) Thanks in advance for what I hope will be an interesting discussion. -- Ursula Williams Director, Language Resource Center http://www.nd.edu/~lrc 201 O'Shaughnessy Hall University of Notre Dame Notre Dame, In 46556 574.631.5881
