Internet Slang Dictionary
Internet slang consists of slang and acronyms that users have created
as an effort to save keystrokes. Terms have originated from various
sources including Bulletin Boards, AIM, Yahoo, IRC, Chat Rooms, Email,
Cell Phone Text Messaging, and some even as far back as World War II.
Internet Slang is also called AOL speak, AOLese, AOLbonics, netspeak, or leetspeak
(although leetspeak traditionally involves replacing letters with
numbers and is reseved for games). While it does save keystrokes,
netspeak can prove very hard to read.
Embedded Systems Dictionary
Though the use of embedded processors is now a practice more than three
decades old, there’s been no previous attempt to gather all its
vocabulary in one place and clarify the meanings and usage of
individual terms. This dictionary provides the precise definitions
needed to use embedded systems terminology properly. This authoritative
work defines the meaning and usage of 2,800 of the most-used terms in
embedded systems in a way that serves technical and non-technical
audiences alike. Key terms are defined in encyclopedic detail. In each
case, the primary definition is a concise statement of that term’s
meaning tailored to the needs of less technical readers.
Engineers, technical writers, and others will find ample expansion of each definition including:
* pronunciation
* abbreviations and acronyms
* alternative terms
* cross references
* examples
* diagrams, schematics, and figures
* equations
* code listings
* tips for further reading

Частотный словарь английского языка
English Words Frequency List by Adam Kilgarriff Список из 6318 слов без перевода, расположенных в порядке «от частого к редкому». Рядом с каждым словом указана часть речи. Слова с двойным упортреблением (существительное и глагол) указаны в спике 2 раза, один раз как существительное, второй раз как глагол. Автор списка и методики - Adam Kilgarriff. Эта методика рассчета частотности использовалась при составлении LongmanDictionary of Contemporary English,3rd edition. There is a lemmatised frequency list for the 6,318 words with more than 800 occurrences in the whole 100M-word BNC. The definition of a 'word' approximates to a headword in an EFL dictionary such as Longman's Dictionary of Contemporary English: so, eg, nominal and verbal "help" are listed separately, and the count for verbal "help" is the sum of counts for verbal 'help', 'helps', 'helping', 'helped'.
Encyclopedia of Judaism (Encyclopedia of World Religions) Encyclopedia of Judaism illustrates the history and civilization of the Jews across the millennia, and presents Judaism as a singular yet multifaceted religion. The Patriarchs, Matriarchs, and the other Israelites who people the Hebrew Bible, called the Tanakh, are considered to be the ancestors of the Jews, and the biblical Moses is considered the religion’s lawgiver. Jews today still identify so strongly with this heritage and history that most of them think of Abraham, Moses, and the rest as practicing Jews. However, Judaism in the modern world falls into the category of rabbinic Judaism, which evolved from biblical religion but is based on the traditions of the ancient rabbis of some 2,000 years ago.
