Excerpt from Commercial German Dictionary The present dictionary, though it was actually begun before 1914, is to a great extent a war-book, for many of those words in it which here make their first appearance in a lexicon were noted down during my military service as examiner of trade correspondence during the war. To compile a complete dictionary of commercial terms would be a vast undertaking; and probably from the publishing point of view it could (in present conditions) only be a State-aided enterprise. Apart from engineering and science, which have their own (somewhat fragmentary) dictionaries, every branch of trade has its own vocabulary, its own technical terms, its own slang and abbreviations. A commercial correspondent whose firm deals, for instance, in cotton, will probably find it necessary to compile a glossary of his own; and if he transfers his activities to woollens, he will need a new one. I make no claim to have gathered all possible words and expressions into my net; I have had to content myself with compiling a dictionary which will serve for ordinary purposes, though it eliminates a great many purely literary and more or less obsolete words to make room for the general vocabulary of commerce; and I can only excuse omissions with the promise that in the event of a favourable reception there will, in due course, be an enlarged edition, for which author and publishers will be glad to receive suggestions. I have throughout given the form of the word actually used in trade rather than the etymologically correct or academic word; e.g. not "codling" (which is found in Shakespeare), but "codlin," the word found in nurserymen's catalogues, and the only form which apple-growers know. The fact is, the commercial language has a tendency to play havoc with the literary language. German grammarians, and purists in particular, are up in arms against the lingo of German trade, which they characterize as unpatriotic, puerile, and impossible. But it is surely inevitable that all commercial languages should approximate to a universal language, a Weltsprache. It is no doubt true that commercial borrowings are excluded by the genius of the language from the higher style, or the national style; no German, it has been pointed out, will dream of saying er wird nie auf eine grune Branche kommen; but it may be questioned whether Zweiggeschaft is for business purposes a more serviceable term than Branche, which can be tacked on to other words to make logically impossible combinations, Wollebranche, Kleiderbranche, and even Lumpenbranche, the rag-branch of commerce.

Excerpt from Pitman's Dictionary Of Commercial Correspondence: In English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, And Russian The aim of this book is to enable students of commercial correspondence to overcome the difficulties encountered by all those whose task it is to express themselves in a foreign tongue in the shortest possible time. With this object in view, commercial expressions have been supplied in the languages dealt with which would be sought in vain in ordinary dictionaries, and turns of speech have been rendered in such a way as to avoid all difficulty in their application, and to remove all doubt as to the correctness of the methods of expression. The letters at the end of the book treat of subjects of daily occurrence in commercial life, and many of them can be used just as they stand, while, for special cases, they may be easily altered with the help of the dictionary and made to suit the purpose required. These letters will not only be of practical value to the correspondent, but will also provide an opportunity for the students in commercial schools to become thoroughly acquainted with the usual forms of the different languages. As to the German, the modern orthography has been adopted, but in certain words of foreign derivation, where the spelling is optional, the original form has been preserved. Thus, the German words for "acceptance" and cognate expressions have been written with "cc" instead of "kz," e. g., "Accept, acceptieren," instead of "Akzept, akzeptieren." It is believed that Appendix II, which deals with Russian declensions and conjugations, will be exceedingly helpful to the students of that language. The present new edition, which now includes Portuguese and Russian expressions, has been thoroughly revised by eminent professors in each of the languages dealt with.
