"This infographic shows the percentage of adults in each generation who own each of the gadgets we asked about in our September 2010 survey.
These findings are based on a survey of 3,001 American adults (ages 18 and older) conducted between August 9 and September 13, 2010. The margin of error is +/- 3 percentage points. Interviews were conducted in English and Spanish, and the survey included 1,000 cell phone interviews."
Wordnik wants to be a place for all the words, and everything known about them.
Traditional dictionaries make you wait until they've found what they consider to be "enough" information about a word before they will show it to you. Wordnik knows you don't want to wait-if you're interested in a word, we're interested too!
Our goal is to show you as much information as possible, just as fast as we can find it, for every word in English, and to give you a place where you can make your own opinions about words known.
By "information," we don't just mean traditional definitions (although we have plenty of those)! This information could be:
* An example sentence-even if we've only found one sentence for a word, we'll show it to you. (And we'll show you where the sentence came from, too!
* Related words: not just synonyms and antonyms, but words that are used in the same contexts. (For instance, cheeseburger, milkshake, and doughnut are not synonyms, but they show up in the same kinds of sentences.)
* Images tagged by our friends at Flickr: want to know what a "pout" looks like? We'll show you.
* Statistics: how rare is "tintinnabulation"? Well, we think you'll see it only about once a year. "Smile"? You might see that word many times, every day.
* An audio pronunciation-and you can record your own!
Soople is an early English dialect, which means 'to soften, make supple'.
That's exactly what I envisioned for this site ; a site that softens all the fantastic advanced functions Google offers. This site is meant for all those who are not yet familiar with all the possibilities of Google and all the required syntaxes.
For instance, one can specify a search by one particuliar site or filetype( word, excel, powerpoint and pdf) or an imagesearch by size and type.
Furthermore there are many useful tools Google offers; search in the latest news, look up definitions or use Google as a phonebook.
And last but not least, the Calculator. This amazing tool let's you do all kind of (very advanced) calculations. Soople has added the unit-converter, which is based on this calculator, for the conversion of all the commmon units/measures (metersyards). Quite supple, if you ask me.
Have a lot of Google-fun
