Word of the day
Today, the word of the day is "nomenclature".
From dictionary.com:
"1. a set or system of names or terms, as those used in a particular science or art, by an individual or community, etc.
2. the names or terms comprising a set or system."
It was used in a daily conversation I had at work the other day in relation to a list of industry jargon at my current freelance gig. In a way, it's a list, which also makes me think of an article I saw on Yahoo about Peter Roget, the creator of the Thesaurus who dealt with life by creating lists. Being a fellow list writer I found it interesting that he used lists to create a world of words that he had absolute control over. It's also easier to deal with things when put into list form, putting it into black and white is a good way of helping you deal with it, whatever "it" may be.
