Upgrade StorageInternational TagLines Confusion... Perhaps!
Hi,
I have noticed that you have nominated "The web now has a wrangler" as your latest tag line. While from an American perspective it may be valid it also has European connotations and could be misunderstood.
According to Dictionary.com (Unabridged) the definition for wrangler is:
1. a cowboy, esp. one in charge of saddle horses.
2. a person who wrangles or disputes.
3. (at Cambridge University, England) a person placed in the first class in the mathematics tripos.
So a wrangler is a cowboy who argues noisily or angrily and is in the top class for mathematics.
If you look up the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary a cowboy is:
cowboy (DISHONEST PERSON) Show phonetics
noun [C] UK INFORMAL
someone who is not honest, careful or skilful in their trade or business, or someone who ignores rules that most people obey and is therefore not considered to be responsible:
Those builders are a bunch of cowboys - they made a terrible job of our extension.
or
cowboy (FARM WORKER) Show phonetics
noun [C] (ALSO cowhand)
a person, especially in the western US, whose job is to take care of cattle, and who usually rides a horse, or a similar character in a film:
The ranch employed ten or twelve cowboys.
He was wearing cowboy boots and a cowboy hat.
I don't much like cowboy films/movies.
If I were you I would be careful people don't think that Zotero is DISHONEST or that it wrangles or disputes things as they may end up shunning Zotero.
By the way this is by far the very best research tool on the Internet and I can't wait to see what you have lined up for it this year.
