“Urban Dictionary” accepted entry for “Nother” 6-2-2006 submitted by Debra Ford
Remarks:
Recent entry to the “Urban Dictionary”, by Debra Ford, for the tern “nother” was sparked by a reaction to the many occurrences of discussions about the term with no apparent understanding of the usage. It was immediately after replying to a thread at clipmarks, that she decided to put an entry herself. Directly after sending in the entry, she signed up to be an editor at the “Urban Dictionary.” she expects to more actively participate as an editor beginning July 2006.

Nother definition #2

1)Shortened version of the word “another“It actuality is a shortened version of “another” - which is used by many people, even those who practice using grammatical correctness. It occurs naturally when the person is speaking too fast, and the sound of the letter “a” comes across as: an out going breath of air, or at a much lower octave than usual; therefore sounding absent. To write, “nother” rather than “another” is actual a “written vocalization” to emphasize haste, or pertinence, which otherwise, needs an entire phrase or sentence to drive the point home. However, the colloquial frequency of the usage of “nother” slowly got carried into a variety of word groupings. As the letter “a” is phonetically an out going breath at a certain octave, a rapid speech makes the “a” inaudible as anything except for the breath. (likewise the letter e is an incoming breath at a different octave).It most frequently is found at the beginning of a sentence or directly after the word “And” as the second word of the sentence. By making the habit of trying to always say “and” before the word “another”, it often corrects the problem in hurried speech. In relaxed or hurried speech, when there is failure to articulate the “d” sound in the word, then the phrase “And another” (when rushed) becomes “An nother” which still sounds like “another” to the listener. This does not always work, the outcome heard is often “an_another” or “ananother” when heard, which is worse than just saying “nother.” It is quite possible that “another” is a word that was originally derived from the phrase “and other” as a transition in relaxed speech.2)”Nother” a variation of “other.” Often, in the more severe colloquial instances it is grouped in the middle of a sentence right after the word “no” in which case the “nother” is the equivalent of “other” Recently popular discussions about the very popular phrase “whole nother thing” fails to mention that this is a combination of relaxed annunciation and relaxed grammar. Where those who elect to write down the phrase put “whole nother thing” it is much more often pronounced: “whole nuddah thing” Which is just bad, all the way around. It is often used in personal story telling of a series events linked together, and adds flavor to the long winded conversationalists. It is more likely to be heard in an argument, when the whole emphasis is on not having one’s own view point contested. It is effective, because it is obvious that when someone says “nuddah” they aren’t concerned about being corrected or hearing your opinion. Where the “th” is replaced by dd (like a reversed Hispanic or Latin translation) It is found heavily used in areas that had a strong Euro-Spanish background, but are predominantly English speaking communities. For example “New Orleans, Louisiana.”
Sentence starters:”Nother thing …”"And nother thing is that..”"Nother time I….”"Nother way to go is…”"whole nother time” (pronounced nuddah and is most effective when you stretch out the word “whole” and “time”)”I ain’t gonna get no nother one of those, ever” (It is a highly mindful statement to reinforce the sense of commitment to the decision. Most users of such language also know quite well how to speak properly and do so when required)

nice flowers

This is a very nice treatment of capturing the “Blue Moon Flower.” This picture is most likely taken in the morning facing the the east. As moon flowers close during the day and are rarely visible in full sun light. The thicket behind this particular group of flowers provides adequate shade to allow the flowers to remain open. As a vine plant that is particularly fond of fences and narrow trunked trees, the flowers on the eastward facing side of the fence would be already closed for the day.

You have a profile page, you post bulletins, and even have one or two other sites for your business, organization, service or  band…So why do you need to blog?

1)The file structure of the blog network is set up especially well for archiving. Other networks refer to this as a “permalink” which is the actual address of the actual file, not the database assignment for the blog and your personal ID.

2)The format is neater and faster to retrieve - therefore easier to be catalogued by search engines.

3) If you save a copy of the actual file address you can still retrieve the file even if the file is deleted by system administrators from the database,  unless they really don’t like you and spend a 4 hours trying to get rid of the file. 

4) If you put all your notices in bulletins you have to make special arrangements to get news releases out. 

5) RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS Feeds can be collected by anyone who has a feed reader.

6) Almost every Internet Provider has home pages that allow you to add a feed to your normal home page with the rss address you get above the blog. 

7) The RSS feed only shows up when there are posts. With a feed reade,r a person can get all the missed feeds from your page in a nice abridged list.

8) Believe it or not some people refuse to come to myspace, or your other private networks. But, they  may love you enough to add a feed to their browser or reader just to keep up with your progress.

9) Every news headline that you read has been sent somewheres by rss.  Your local newspapers have the ability to subscribe directly to your out going feeds and have your “Band” or “special interest” group show up as local news.

10) You have the ability to select whether your blog is Public, just for friends, a preferred list, or private diary

11) People on different blog networks usually have a “blog this” button which will copy a protected “quote”  from your blog with a linkback or track back url link to your site.  That way people would re-post and circulate your newsworthy topics for you.

12) If the only thing you ever change is new information in a bulletin, you have taken away many people’s reason to revisit your page that has those links to your commercial sites.  Most people won’t subscribe to your page but, if they know you blog, they would visit your page more often.

13) There are many days that I and the rest of the people here will not want to go through 20 - 100 pages of bulletins to find out what you are doing.  By being able to subscribe to your blog, a nice convenient dated list of all subscribed blogs shows up and a little red word “new” is next to any entries not yet read.  Very easy.

14) The Blog Editor allows you to copy and paste either in code or WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get). The bulletin only lets you enter in the format where you see the code.

15) A nice way to look at the code for something is to highlight and copy the whole item you need the code for,   open the blog editor, paste it in the window, check the box to show the code and wahlah! you can then copy it to your notepad to save it for later use or copy the coded material into your actual profile page, —like video players and stuff.  It is so much easier to deliver code to you that way.

16) Selfishly, I won’t have to write a new set of instructions to give you codes if you only try to use your blog editors. Thank you.  The other option is to just send you to the same places I went for the instructions (It takes time, not always fun)

17) Instead of reposting everything you can put a list of links in your blog to the other blogs that have the info you want to share - That’s a link back.  Just make a point to say more than “Check this out.  (Frankly I don’t just follow links without having any idea what it’s for, give clues)

18) If you have more than one group with multiple moderators, all of your group leaders can subscribe to your post and deliver timely notices to their group members.  That way your nice little helpers don’t have to run to each and every group to deliver the same messages over and over and over again.

19)  If people only check in once or twice a month they have missed most of your bulletins since they only last 10 days. ( by the way sent mail messages are also deleted every two weeks…so unless you have saved a message or left it in the in box or received a reply, It’s gone.)

20) Because of the format and the ease of cataloging blogs the priority of where it shows up in the search list is much higher.  By definition and rules for blog platforms, most of the necessary qualifications for a page to be searched have already been met.

21) Additional steps can be made to register your blogs.  As this is a private network your tags are preset by my space.  By individually registering your blogs you can appoint a new set of tags to your blogs.  Each tag category you register will be catalogued as an entry into that category each time you blog regardless of the topic.

Example:  I want to feature 36 bands/artist, I have 9 blog sites, If I dedicate 4 tags of my 20 to the name of an individual band or musician, than every time I send out a public blog about any topic, the band or artist name also gets catalogued.  Every time I mention the name of the group in that blog that has a tag on that blog register it gets extra points for relevancy.  These things push your name up higher on the list in search engines.

22) If the only thing that shows up when you run your name through the search engine is your page and the 20 pages you left comments on…You Should Be Blogging.  (Unless you really don’t care if the world finds your commercial pages while casually using a search engines) Your goal should be that your profile pages and commercial pages show up side by side in a search list, and hopefully on the first page when you search.  Sure you can spend lost of money to have your name stay on the list (and I do mean Lots of money)
