19.Does your local town have a nickname?If so,what does it say about the area and the people who live there?Many cities are recognized across the world by their unofficial titles.New York is the Big Apple,London is the Big Smoke,and Los Angles is famously called La La Land.
Now,as part of English Language Day on Wednesday,Britain's national mapping agency,Ordnance Survey,and the British linguistics charity (语言学慈善机构),the English Project,are launching an interactive project which aims to identify the nicknames people use in their daily lives for local places.
"The name that people create for a place forms an emotional connection,"explains Winchester University's Professor Bill Lucas,a supporter of the English Project."So Basingstoke becomes Amazingstoke,Swindon is known as Swindump and Padstow,hometown of Chef Rick Stein,is nicknamed Padstein."
Basingstoke is a town in central England.The local nickname,Amaxingstoke,shows that affection that locals seem to have for the area.Swindon,on the other hand,is sometimes called Swindump,showing that some people think it's a dump (垃圾场).Stanford Le Hope in Essex is called Stanford No Hope by locals.And Padstow in Cornwall is so closely connected with the local famous person Rick Stein that it's become known as Padstein.
Since launching the online survey last week,the creators have already received 3,000alternative titles for places and landmarks.
There is a practical side to the project.Glen Hart,Ordnance Survey's head of research,says the information could be very helpful to the emergency services.For example,"By having the most complete set of nicknames we could help the emergency services quickly locate the right place,and maybe even save lives,"he says.

19."People are ruder today because they are rushed and more‘time poor'than ever before,"says Patsy Rowe,"Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达)."Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don't wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint(抱怨)about the noise.Here are some examples of rudeness.
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet.To them,dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward.It feels very slow because humans don't work at 4G speeds.When you have dinner with friends,you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone.We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news,so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with.What is worse,some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的) rude messages by email.
However,rudeness is never acceptable.Don't assume it is OK to be rude if the person you're in touch with won't recognize you.If you have something awful to say,have the courage to face the person and say it,write a letter or email and sign it,or forget it.Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.
We shouldn′t blame technology for our shortcomings.Technology is here to help us,but we should not allow it to take over our lives.An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings.People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we′d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.
