Not content

 Image result for contents


Despite this recent spate of posts in other languages - the meaning changing in the process of translation - this is not a blog particularly interested in language as a theme. This is good as it means there is no need to look at the generic nature of contents: the contents of my locker/wallet/fridge. The difference with magazines and journals, doctorates and reference works, is that the contents are stated. It would be like seeing next to that cute picture of the kids when they were younger, a non-shopping list that told you what was on each shelf/section.

There's no need.

But similarly how do you really have a 'preface' or a 'foreword' on a website when the viewer can come it from any point? Technically you could randomly open to page 134 but that's not the same thing. Websites aren't strictly sequential.
