Reading on screens: "gandering"? - another word is nominated for reading on screens


An American writer living in Taiwan says: "I’d like to suggest ‘e-gandering.’As in "take a gander" at that! So.... ‘To take an e-gander’.... Electronic gandering, e-gandering, or clipped, just ‘gandering’ for short.

Another interesting word for reading on a screen. A reporter at the New York Times also suggested "diging" (digital reading) but noted some might find it hard to pronouce at first.

The list of nominated words is GROWING. Care to suggest one yourself? Do.

However, I'm no longer involved in academic research and will be leaving the University at the end of the month to pursue my musical interests.

Best wishes,
