NANCY DUARTE, author, Resonate and SlideologyTalk like TED is a smart, practical book that will teach you how to give a kick-butt presentation. This book is ultimately about discovering what moves you and then creating the means of moving others with your vision.

You could point to certain British areas talking like that even today, "Give us a kiss, love." So maybe that's just coincidence. But he also says, "Because it's my birthday, my love, and I wants it."

In my career, I'm continually thrust into conversations with people, both strangers and friends alike. I greet them at my church. I see them at speaking engagements. I meet with them in boardrooms. I've spoken with impoverished immigrants, veteran politicians, drug dealers, decamillionaires, children, the dying, and all sorts of strange and wonderful people in between. Regardless of their backgrounds or socioeconomic status, I've found one thing to be almost universally true: People no longer know how to have conversations.

Somewhere in our history, it seems to have become en vogue to be the "strong, silent type." We got rid of the loquaciousness of the Shakespearean, Victorian, and TransAtlantic ideals and replaced it with feigned mystery, moodiness, and silent "depth." People started misusing the "Introvert" label to describe people who avoid talking to others. We've tried to make a virtue out of shyness.

People love talking about themselves, their experiences, and those they love. Spend most of "your side" of the conversation talking about the other person and inquiring about their opinions, life, and interests. In addition to being more rewarding for them, it also makes the conversation more interesting for you. After all, you already know what you think.

The only thing worse than listening to a monologue about a topic that has no interest to you is being the person giving a monologue about a topic that has no interest to your listener. Unless they specifically inquire about it or keep the conversation going, always try to redirect the subject of your conversation back to something that you know is of interest to the other party. Just because you started talking about traveling, and now you're on a boring rabbit trail about a taxi driver named Paulo whom you met in Paris, doesn't mean that you can't get back to talking about something interesting. Just ask a question. Something like "Which city is your favorite?" should get the conversation headed back in the right direction.

If you're meeting someone, try to avoid the classic openers. Nothing will remind your new acquaintance of your unfamiliarity more than having to answer questions like "What do you do?" and "Where do you live?" Instead, jump right in and talk to them with the same candor that you would a lifelong friend or family member. Ditch "What's your name?" and go straight for "Been to any good restaurants this month?" or "Why do you think _____ is the way that it is?" or "How do you feel about _____?" You can always get their name and personal info later.

If someone misspeaks but their intent remains clear, you don't need to correct them. Maybe they said, "Feburary," "acks," and "libarry," instead of February, ask and library. Maybe they made a Freudian slip. Who cares? If you understood them, they've communicated effectively. Unless it's your job to teach them, don't take it upon yourself to be their teacher. It only produces an awkward break in the rhythm of the conversation, makes them insecure, and makes you look like a pompous ass.

Among life's most mind-numbing experiences is talking with someone who doesn't seem to hold any actual beliefs, preferences, or opinions. Don't be that person. Feel free to say what you actually believe. If you're politically active, it's okay to admit that. If you're a Christian, cool. If you believe everyone should eat organic, don't feel like you have to hide it.

Depending on how oblivious you are, you may be shocked to learn that your perception is not universally shared. Furthermore, your assessment and response to any situation is probably not the only logical possibility. So instead of saying what "is," simply say what you're "feeling." For example, "You are lazy" is a lot more hostile, fruitless, and difficult to prove than, "I feel like you could try harder."

International Talk Like a Pirate Day is a parodic holiday created in 1995 by John Baur and Mark Summers of Albany, Oregon,[1] who proclaimed September 19 each year as the day when everyone in the world should talk like a pirate.[2] It has since been adopted by the Pastafarianism movement.[3]

At first an inside joke between two friends, the holiday gained exposure when Baur and Summers sent a letter about their invented holiday to the American syndicated humor columnist Dave Barry in 2002.[5] Barry liked the idea and promoted the day,[5] and later appeared in a cameo in their "Drunken Sailor" Sing Along A-Go-Go video.[6] Michigan filk musician Tom Smith wrote the original "Talk Like a Pirate Day" song in 2003.[7][8]

As you talk about the different parts of the URL, I was wondering if Googlebot breaks down a URL as it crawls it into its components. I wonder because as I was reviewing analytics on my site about the pages that Googlebot is crawling, it is going to pages that both do not and have never existed. There are pieces of the URL that are correct, like the subdomain, the domain and the path, but just not in the combination that Googlebot is trying to access.

It never hurts to share with your readers insights on how Googlers talk about the Web. Your post may well become a standard reference for many people who want teach the basic terminology of URLs to staff members and clients. After all, we have to discuss these things, too.

When you place parameters such as tags for web reporting like WebTrends, such as ?WT.mc_t=abc&WT.mc_n=blogsignup, is that looked at as a dynamic page and more importantly, does that have a negative affect on showing up in SERPs?

Matt, typing in your URL from memory brought me to mattcuts.com today, a useless site full of clickable ads. I was surprised to see, that even an expert like you can be molested by domain grabbers. I guess, like most of us, before you started your web project, you did not think of registering a few possible variations and typos of your domain name.

A website that is integrated with database driven content can be a dynamic site and if web page utilizes databases which can insert content into a webpage by way of a dynamic script like PHP or JavaScript is dynamic page.

As the young boy of the story moves through his day, we see him in his classroom, hoping that he doesn't have to talk. When the teacher asks him a question and his peers turn to look at him, the picture captures his sense of panic and the pressure he feels.

Here at STAMMA, we think this is a beautiful book and one that ultimately celebrates a child's unique voice, whether it be stammered or fluent. However, we would like to promote an alternative to two elements in the book.

TED talks also lie right in the middle of the ideal presentation length of 15 to 20 minutes with an 18-minute rule, established by the creators to get people to really condense their message and keep listeners engaged.

The Pilgrims talked a little differently than we do today. If you visit the Museum's 17th-Century English Village, you will notice that the townspeople say words you know in a funny way, or even say some words you don't know at all. That's because they are speaking in 17th-century English, not 21st-century modern English.Here are a few examples of English words, greetings and phrases that would have been used by the Pilgrims. Practice them at home and you could talk like a Pilgrim too!

Great little test there Syd! I tried to use my British English and was ok getting number 1 and 3 but found that number 2 was pretty tough so there are clearly some distinct differences. Nothing like going down the local chippy for fish (or fush) and chips!

So I have decided to throw my full support behind Talk Like a Pirate Day, to be observed this Sept. 19. To help promote this important cause, I have decided to seek the endorsement of famous celebrities, and I am pleased to report that, as of today, Tom Cruise, Julia Roberts, Britney Spears, Brad Pitt, Oprah Winfrey, the Osbournes, Tiger Woods, Ted Koppel, the Sopranos, Puff Doody and the late Elvis Presley are all people who I hope will read this column and become big supporters. I see no need to recruit President Bush, because he already talks like a pirate, as we can see from this transcript of a recent White House press conference:

In many ways, my first year of medical school has felt like another immersion program in which learning to speak a new language allows me to navigate a new world. My notes from any given day of school have dozens of new terms. Multiplied over the course of the school year, we have learned literally thousands of new words. There are body parts, symptoms, conditions, bacteria, drugs, and molecules to be learned: flexor carpi ulnaris, dysphagia, glomerulonephritis, pseudomonas aeruginosa, methotrexate, phospholamban. These new words allow my classmates and me entry into the previously cordoned off world of doctors.

Not until age two do kids start using function words like prepositions to show the relationships between other words. Full simple sentences start then. Multiple clauses, linked together with conjunctions that show causal relationships, get going around three and a half. And learning how to effectively use all the tools of English to communicate takes a lifetime.

If you want to master the art of speaking like a skier, I recommend starting slowly. Try sprinkling these little gems into your next conversation on the lift ride up. With a little luck, some perseverance, and a lot of steaz, you just might be smashing the gnar by the end of the season.

Psychologists and graduate students are often called upon to speak to an audience, whether to give a conference presentation, deliver a lecture to a class, lead a meeting or give a talk in the community. But public speaking is a skill that comes more naturally to some than to others, and there are some common pitfalls to avoid, such as seeming disorganized or looking down at notes rather than at your audience. ff782bc1db
