WORD: Esquejismoâ„¢

Esquejismo: queja que aparece en el horizonte pero no sobre un problema real, sino por un efecto óptico.

Translation attempt: “queja” means “complaint” and “espejismo” means mirage; hence: Complaint that appears in the horizon but not regarding a real problem, but caused by an optical effect.

Irish rally driving (and swearing) gone bananas

I normally leave all automotive-related material to my only-in-spanish blog Autoblog.com.es, but this is first of all beyond racing, and secondly and above all an evergrowing string of swearwords of such proportions that make the English language sound like it has as many as the Spanish. Not really the case, but the Irish sure can drop some serious bombs. Ok and on top of that it has some nice rally footage.

Tell secrets

People send postcards with their secrets to the website, secrets are shared with the world.

I believe this and Facebook’s honestly-named Honesty Box application, which allows the sending of annonymous private messages, are solid steps forward for open public sincerity. How can you possibly not find that exciting!

WORD: Erconomics, erconomic, erconomy

The economy of ergonomics (saving through preventing injuries).
The ergonomy of economics (haven’t figured that one out).

Erconomic

A quick google on “ergonomic economy” turns up with articles on the aforesuggested (word!) matter:

“The economy of ergonomic improvements is reported as case studies from four Swedish companies. Poor workplace ergonomics and related musculoskeletal problems were already known and had caused repeated sick- leave periods at these workplaces. Expenses associated with certain preventive activities were accounted for and financial effects were estimated based on interviews with representatives at the companies. When costs were compared to gains, the improvements appeared to be highly profitable.”
