Attention all logophiles, wordies and vehemently verbose a new iphone application may actually help you out of your next jam should you find yourself at a loss for words. More advanced than your average web dictionary and a lot more fun than an old-fashioned hardback dictionary, thesaurus or glossary, Terminology is the name of a brand new software you can run on your smart phone that actually allows you to browse the English language cleanly and effortlessly.

More than just words, Terminology allows you to quickly find phrases, catchwords, slang and sarcasm within its database. The program seems complex, but actually doesn’t even require a network to load. It’s user friendly, quick and easy to read and will certainly come in handy the next time the cat has your tongue.

Students, especially, are finding this type of technology particularly helpful when racking their brains during late night term paper writing. We’ve all experienced the frustration of not being able to articulate the correct thought  whether it’s because we can’t think of the proper term or we’re running on too little sleep and too much caffeine and can’t put our fingers on the right words!

Another fun use for the Terminology app – for students and adults alike – is winning at word games like Scrabble and Words With Friends. Before smart phones, wordy competitors had to break out the old dusty dictionary to search for the right word. Now, it’s simple to plug in the letters you need to rack up your score and impress your friends.

Although Terminology doesn’t require a wireless network to run smoothly and successfully, if you do happen to have network access, the program will actually help you retrieve more than just spelling, definition and origin. In fact, Terminology works in conjunction with an online connection to locate uses of a particular word or phrase online, search engine optimization, and websites where the word is used most often. With such advanced technology, it’s no wonder even the web dictionary is obsolete!
