Hi everyone,
I'm new to this list and have been 'listening' to
the conversation about language change.
I have just returned to
Sydney from 4 days in Christchurch and have been amazed there at the new
life poured into the word 'munted'. (I'll leave you to look it up). It
seems to appear at least once in every conversation. Buildings, roads,
jobs, gardens... so much is 'munted' as a result of the
earthquakes.
A few words of introduction... I've
been working in document/info design/tech writing since the early 90's -
mining, metals processing, road safety, health and now animal health.
Embarking on my last subject of Grad Dip Info Design and Christchurch
Polytech - it's been a fabulous and robust learning experience for me.
Look forward to contributing and learning from this list.
Anne Deane
