Changes in English language
.
Shortening:
doc: document
sesh: session
recs: recommendations
the ushe: the usual

**Verbification: **Make a verb out of a noun.
Friending: to add somebody to your list of contacts on a social media website
Googled: to type words into the search engine Google™ in order to find information about somebody/something.
Colorize or colorization: A process by which color is digitally applied to black-and-white images.
.
Nounification: Technically called nominalization, nounification is the act of transforming a perfectly strong verb into a weak noun. This is very common in languages that have factory methods like java. E.g. UriCreator, comparerFunction.
.
**Pronouns: **
she / her / hers
he / him / his
they / them / theirs
Other pronoums: zier zer xer ver per
Foreign names: Andrés, Awndresh (people trying to pronounce it in English), Andrew. It all depends on how you wanna be called.
**Inclusive language: **
“Master”, like the GIT branch, has been replaced by “main”
Primary/secondary for master slave databases.
Exclusion/inclusion list for black/white list

I didn’t know about the verbification and also that some people prefer some pronouns.
Some examples of shortening words:

• Laboratory= “lab”
• Limousine= “limo”
• To the maximum= “to the max”
• Legitimate= “legit”
• Rehabilitation= “rehab”
• University= “uni” only in Australia.
• Vegetarian, vegetables= “veggie”

Languages change all the time. And they do it because people want to be more inclusive and want to be better communicating

Pronoums:
she / her / hers
he / him / his
they / them / theirs
Other pronoums:
zier zer xer ver per
You decided how to wanna be call, remember is your name
It’s important to use an inclusive language

aca estoy platzeando ☺

Shortening

• Doc ⇒ Document
• Sesh ⇒ session
• Recs ⇒ recommendations
• The ushe ⇒ The usual

Verbification

• Verbification is taking a noun and turn it into a verb
  • You take the name of the action and create a verb for it

Examples

• Friending
• Googled
• Colorizate

Nounification

• Take a verb or something that performs a verb, and you need to create a function that returns the things that perform the action

Examples

• uriCreator ⇒ Create an URI
• comparerFunction ⇒ A function that does comparisons is returned by the “comparerFunction”

Nouns

• she / her / hers ⇒ Woman
• he / him / his ⇒ Man
• they / them / theirs ⇒ No binary

Inclusive language

• Main vs Master
  • Main doesn’t remind you of slavery every time you use it
• “Exclusion list and Inclusion list” vs “Blacklist and White list”

Nice ✨

Tu tienes la decisión de cómo te llaman, no los demás (It’s perfectly fine to correct your name pronuntiation)

• master -> main
• primary & secondary (master <- slave database)
• exclusion list & inclusion list (while list, black list)

What a beautiful lesson about respect everybody! I love it!

la verdad me sorprende, llegue a pensar que el idioma español era el unico que tenia sus propias manerade expresarse entre ellas, pero comienzo a ver que cada lengua tiene su diversificacion y mas hablando en la parte de la tegnologia y tiene mucha razon respecto como quieran que nos llamen. yo si quiero ser llamado “fercho”, tal cual, ejejjeje no ferchouuuu.

In languages like Spanish and Latin culture there are many words that go through these changes in the colloquial environment and it’s very interesting.

Every language evolves with time.

This class is a piece of gold, be more inclusive can help us to improve our communication skills.
Some examples:

• Inclusion list and exclusion list

• Primary and Secondary

• Main in github

Bien, con esta clase me quedo actualizado en la forma mejorar la comunicación socialmente.

For to make the commits
feat => feature
doc => documentation
refact => refactoring

I am really amazed by those changes in communication, American people might be very sensitive about it …so lets roll with it.

It is just that latins we have our changes in the language like la “dormición” in a juvenile behavior, but we definetily don´t bother in being ofended if I like it or not.

Interesting! 😃

I had no idea these other types of pronoums:
zier zer xer ver per

Excellent info!

I think, in this moment, it’s very important the inclusive languaje… to accept everyone…for me: she/her

What doth thou mean, languages do not aye change! /s

Languages change, they evolve as well as we do
