Apparently there are a lot of strange dictionaries out there.
Otherwise-well-respected German dictionary publisher Langenscheidt announced that it is producing a German-Woman/Woman-German dictionary. (Psst, Toronto Star, it’s “Also sprachen die Fräulein”… Third person plural, past tense of strong verb, ending is “en”. You’re welcome.)
We also have The Hippie Dictionary which translates such words and phrases like “stay loose”, “hey man”, and “like”.
Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
