Hello, all:

I'm compiling a voice interface (commands, vocabulary etc.) for those who use Dragon NaturallySpeaking (speech-recognition) with SL. This is also a great way to get those, like myself, with disabilities involved in this world.

What I need is to create the vocabulary. As I've only been in game for a short time, I'd really appreciate if anyone who is interested could pitch forth some SL specific slang, terminology, acronyms etc. (i.e. rez, rezzing, LM, HUD). The more the better.

I'd really appreciate that! Thanks.

Cheers,

Lucrezia Lamont

I think I'm scared. What's a Phone Weasel and do I really want to give people the power to say that?

You might want to look at the glossary in the knowledgebase at http://secondlife.com/knowledgebase/index.php?action=glossary and the glossary in the ll sl wiki at http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Glossary and the Second Life wiki for marketers at http://secondlifeformarketers.pbwiki.com/Glossary-of-Second-Life-terms .

Generally speaking glossaries are intended to aid in comprehension, but here's one that probably does the opposite: http://torley.com/torleys-slexicon . :p

A "Phone Weasel" is a weasel like creature that resides in phone handpieces and when you are in the middle of a phone conversation it will leap out and burrow in to your ear to make a nest in your brain. Griefers need not worry about these creatures as they have no brain to nest in.
