Dear Sue, Ann, Grand Cindy and Booksharian Friends,
Sue, what a beautifully simple solution! You may have noticed that I twisted
myself into knots trying to preface scanner with loads of descriptive words
to distinguish the person from the equipment, like: the person who scans,
the scanning equipment, the volunteer scanner, the scanning program, and I
could go on and on. It's the submitter for the person and scanner for the
equipment for me from now on! Thank you. Thank you.
Ann, when I went on and on about JAWS pronunciation of scan with e - r and
o - r, it was my feeble effort at seeing the humor in anything and
everything. Mayrie and the writer's practice group is going to have their
hands full teaching me to make my humorous intentions clear in my posts. I
liked your idea.
Now for a little practice, and this is the truth. At long last, I've learned
to use my scanner and have become a submitter as well as a validator.
Yippee!
Always with love,
Lissi

Hi Ann,
Not Grandma Cindy, but one way to avoid confusion would be to call the
people who scan books submitters. That is how the bookshare staff refer
to
them. <smile>

Hi all,
Grandma, if you like it, then, we should start a fad. It may not be
correct outside of Bookshare, but I think it does make sense to
distinguish between the machine (scanner) and its user (a scannor).
So long as we all know what we mean, that's OK. However, I hope it
doesn't make life difficult for outsiders or people who inadvertently
use the convention elsewhere than in Bookshare circles. For me, it
makes sense. Yes, in Braille they are different, and in speech they
sound similar, but people can always check char by char.
Ann P.
