Ultimate Vocabulary Creator eReflect Salutes Native Speaker’s Endeavor To Preserve Dying Language
Ultimate Vocabulary Creator eReflect Salutes Native Speaker’s Endeavor To Preserve Dying Language
New York City, NY (PRWEB) January 27, 2015
In a touching video about language, Marie Wilcox, the last fluent speaker of Wukchumni, teaches humanity that drive and preservation can make a difference in the world. eReflect recommends this video about Wilcox’s native language, and her efforts to to preserve it. In an inspirational short film titled “Marie’s Dictionary,” the story of Wilcox and her native Indian language is beautifully illustrated. The language is on the verge of extinction, and Wilcox, the last native speaker, was convinced of the need for the young children in her family to learn her native language. This is what inspired Wilcox to begin creating a Wukchumni dictionary, eReflect says.
Wilcox started to write down the language she learned at an early age but has rarely spoken. She started writing down words that came to mind on random pieces of paper, but later her approach became more systematic. Wilcox started typing Wukchumni words and stories on a computer so that she could later pass them on to her family. After many years of continuous effort, Wilcox has compiled a dictionary to help these children learn the Wukchumni language. “Marie’s Dictionary” is the ultimate vocabulary builder: a word database that is essential for the preservation and continuation of a language.
eReflect salutes Marie Wilcox for her extraordinary efforts to keep her language alive through this self-driven initiative to compile the first Wukchumni dictionary. Although not a professionally edited dictionary, Wilcox’s knowledge and mastery of the Wukchumni language helped her create a more than adequate dictionary that offers word definitions, spelling, and pronunciation information for hundreds of Wukchumni words. With the help of her daughter, Wilcox has managed to bring “Marie’s Dictionary” to life. She and her grandson also created an audio dictionary version in which Wilcox records the English and the Wukchumni words. Her 7-year endeavor now complete, Marie has put together an indispensable and priceless tool to help preserve her native language.
eReflect remarked today, “Marie’s story is truly inspiring. She single-handedly tried to create a legacy of her language and culture and pass it down to anyone that might wish to learn it. She’s a strong woman who proves that language is a central human aspect we need to preserve. Marie was the only fluent speaker Wukchumni. Her effort is already impacting the life of her grandson, who’s learning the language. With Marie’s help he speaks the language and gradually improves vocabulary knowledge that connects him to his heritage.”

eReflect’s Ultimate Typing Highlights Actions from Chinese Government Regarding Internet Addiction In New Blog Post
eReflect’s Ultimate Typing Highlights Actions from Chinese Government Regarding Internet Addiction In New Blog Post
New York City, NY (PRWEB) February 04, 2015
A new short documentary has been promoted on the Ultimate Typing™ blog, focusing on teenage internet addiction and the Chinese government’s controversial approach to it. The documentary, titled “China’s Web Junkies,” was produced and directed by Shosh Shlam and Hilla Medalia. It gives an inside peek into how internet addicts are dealt with by the Chinese government. Back in 2008, internet addiction was classified as a clinical disorder in China, which also considered the phenomenon a primary threat to the health of millions of teenagers in the country, something the documentary highlights.
The teenagers that end up in the treatment facilities receive a mix of military and therapy drills to help them overcome their internet addiction. These teenagers receive this controversial treatment for up to four months, in hopes of overcoming their addiction, at which point they are reintroduced to society. Although eReflect recognizes that internet addiction does have an impact on the lives of millions of people around the world, the company points out that using a bootcamp-like treatment which involves extreme therapy methods is questionable, to say the least.
Internet addiction is a new and largely unstudied social phenomenon that only escalated in the last decade or so, with the proliferation of online gaming. Internet addiction is defined differently by different organizations and states, and there’s no one single viewpoint on its status, the preferred treatment, or even the desired outcome. That’s why governments and clinicians need a more systematic approach to this modern-day phenomenon, eReflect notes. As the designer of one of the best typing program products on the market, the company is of course supportive of responsible internet and computer use.
Several typing software reviews of eReflect’s program highlight that internet and computer use is such an integral part of daily life that people need above-average typing skills to be efficient at their jobs. eReflect’s learn to type software helps people improve their typing efficiency and accuracy. In fact, young people who have good keyboarding skills should be encouraged to use this ability to apply for better jobs, improve other skills, learn new languages, and in general work towards self-improvement using technology, rather than passively spending their time in online recreation. Although gaming and general internet use is one form of entertainment, it should be one that’s closely monitored by individuals to avoid the extremes leading to addiction, eReflect concludes.

Eric Sloan Of ericestimate.com Tells Ultimate Spelling Readers How To Craft A Killer Website Headline, eReflect Shares
Eric Sloan Of ericestimate.com Tells Ultimate Spelling Readers How To Craft A Killer Website Headline, eReflect Shares
New York City, NY (PRWEB) March 07, 2014
A headline, whether that is for a post or an article, is what convinces readers to keep reading. Headlines draw attention, challenge presumptions, and intrigue people. Eric Sloan of ericestimate.com reveals to the Ultimate Spelling™ blog readers his tips on how to craft headlines that grab the reader’s attention and keep them on the page rather than clicking away to another site.
The most important aspect of a website headline, Sloan explains, is that it offers some sort of relief or reassurance to the visitor that they’ve come to the right place to solve their problem. The headline has to include or touch upon a fear, anxiety, problem, or emotion visitors are experiencing, the reason that they are searching the web for a solution. If, for instance, a visitor is self-conscious when speaking in public, the headline needs to reassure them they will learn how to master that fear and speak confidently in front of an audience.
Ultimate Spelling™ readers will learn from Sloan’s commentary that a headline is the first thing people read when visiting a website, and it’s what tells them if it’s worth staying or not. A headline that exhibits the benefits of reading on to the visitor is an alluring headline. Headlines need to be created with the reader in mind. Authors, bloggers, and anyone writing to attract readers need to remember that the purpose of a headline is not to appeal to their personal writing flair and taste, but to appeal to the reader.
People act instantly when they sense urgency. So headlines that remind readers of a limited time period to act work well, Eric Sloan divulges. Phrases like “limited time,” “while stock lasts,” and “today” make readers more eager to act immediately rather than procrastinate.
eReflect adds to the advice shared by Eric Sloan by underscoring the need for proper spelling. In other words, in order to truly have an appealing and attractive headline, the author needs to check and double-check their headline for any misspellings or typos. Everyone knows how to spell words, but it only takes a moment of distraction for a misspelling to slip through. eReflect is confident that by applying Eric Sloan’s advice, writers can provide web content that will become even more interesting and relevant to those taking the time to read it.
