Word for the Day for Saturday, October 11, 2008

The Word for Today is -- two of them: Overview and Perspective.

We've been down this road before -- the big picture view.

Overview is like reading the "Executive Summary" of an essay or paper. You hope that the person writing this paper will, at least, put the main points in for you to see. In other words, you "glom onto" something, putting yourself around it, hoping you can gain some understanding on the way.

Perspective is a bit different. Like reading a book: Is it written in a 1st Person perspective or a 3rd Person perspective? (2nd Person perspective would be a bit tricky).
