Slowly, but Surely…
ExecuSpeak Dictionary® continues to make progress.
Long-time recipients will notice the new format and style of the
newsletter. Less crowded, fewer words, more white space.
The big news is that we’ve got two new editions in the works.
Inspired by the new Philadelphia Zoning Code (that’s a conversation
in itself), I asked industry expert and former co-worker, Bob Toryak,
to craft new editions with new topics in the ExecuSpeak Dictionary
style®… plain English and used in a sentence with subject indexes.
The other news of note is the availability of Dixio’s smart
dictionary software. The partnership has been in place for a few
months. There are a couple videos to show you how it works. It’s
incredible software. Looks up the meaning of the word you’re looking
at on your screen… and provides the contextually correct
definition.
Be on the lookout for events to launch the books and a social media
campaign to crowdsource a book on crowdfunding.

New Books!
We’re almost finished…
Real estate is the asset that we all must deal with in one way or

estate are key to communicating with real estate professionals.
Thus, ExecuSpeak Dictionary’s first series of books under the
“Business English for …” banner are about the words, terms, jargon,
and abbreviations associated with real estate. Just like the
original ExecuSpeak Dictionary®, each word is defined in plain
English and then used in a sentence to accelerate learning.
What makes ExecuSpeak Dictionary unique among dictionaries is the
subject matter indexes. And, yes, we’ve included those as well.
We’re offering special pricing for those who order early and often…
