good idea, bad application: The Visual Dictionary - a visual exploration of words in the real world.

this is just pictures of words. how utterly stupid.

and yet–it inspired me to think of an utterly brilliant idea: a live visual dictionary. these are invaluable tools for learners of second languages. and on the net, you could search them so much quicker than a traditional index at the back of a book.

hmmm…and with netizen’s help, it could become a component of wikipedia–with an entry, comes a picture.

I am not be facetious either: there are so many architecture words that are difficult to name; so many tools, kitchen utensils, hobby apparatus that you have to be an afficionado to know about let alone name/pronounce/spell properly.

sigh.

maybe in a parallel universe.
