Word Booster est un étonnant outil tice qui devrait intéresser tous les enseignants d’Anglais ainsi que leurs élèves et étudiants. Il s’agit d’une étrange moulinette automatique qui va générer une liste de mots et des exercices associés à partir de n’importe quelle page web. Via Frédéric DEBAILLEUL

Interesting idea - this could be useful in EFL teaching or just for people who are reading in English as a second language and need a bit of help.
I tried it on the Adobe Connect website to see if it would demystify some of the 'Marketese' though, and it didn't help much! A sentence such as 'Powering mission-critical web conferencing solutions, end-to-end, on virtually any device' is full of everyday words which are being used in an unnecessarily obscure way. Which is why I'm in favour of simply writing in plain English (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_english).
On that subject, I recently discovered the absolutely wonderful Simple English Wikipedia (http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page), which does just that.

The British trait of being too polite to speak one's mind has led to a table translating numerous hollow English phrases becoming an internet hit.

Un outil complémentaire pour mieux comprendre l'anglais (surtout au Royaume Uni). Pour mémoire, il y en a un autre ici: http://www.scoop.it/t/16s3d/p/4006907196/rewordify-com-understand-what-you-read?
