Read more…The legendary U.S. travel journalist and entrepreneur Arthur Frommer passed away November 18 at the age of 95. Born in Virginia and with an early boyhood in a small town in Missouri, Arthur was a lawyer who became a pioneering and great travel journalist, and who will be remembered as having helped open the joys of travel to the masses.

You're right Ed. I was leery about posting this because I don't want to see like I'm shilling for anyone, gawd knows we all get enough weird, out-of-context marketing pitches. But I think there is value to her conference. Are you guaranteed sales? No. But you are guaranteed access that is otherwise unavailable to 98% of freelancers.
I also admire that it's somewhat arbitrary. If don't meet Maren's standards, you don't get a foot in the door.
I think the OED shows us how language and communications evolve. They add words and delete words with every edition.
Jose, I got a chuckle out of your comment "..makes sending a text message less onerous..." Hmmm. Could like a telephone call be the answer? No need to text. Push a few numbers or go to pre-programmed numbers ... :-)
OMG! LOL just made it into the OED! (That's "Oxford English Dictionary"). OMG made it, too, along with WTH, the classic FYI, and a few other well-chosen text messaging shortcuts. If you care about language, this is pretty momentous: it's not every day that an official word is born, let alone words that started life as a result of 1) the limited length of text messages, and the extra charge for spilling over into a second message; and 2) the text messager's laziness or finger-fatigue. What do you guys think? Are these real words that belong in the dictionary, or are they a quirky passing fad that will fade the moment a new technology (say, voice recognition, which is already with us) makes sending a text message less onerous? I know where I stand on this issue, but I'd love to hear some pros and cons before I share my own thoughts!

You think children and pets are a problem, try travelling with a chain smoker! They're the new lepers.
I have a friend in London who sometimes tags along with me. I always have to ensure we stay at places where windows open or better yet have a balcony so I can sit him outside. Then there's trying to find a rental company that allows smoking in the car. I either have to get one with a moon roof or stock up on Fabreeze.
Some day we shall end up on a no-fly list because of how he fidgets while waiting in an airport for our flight. He actually carries nicotine inhalers!
