Our office has grown to where we’re not a few people who wear a bunch of “hats”. We now have a group of people who are specialized in their own little world. Whether it be technical or content, we all have our own avenues we traverse in the web world. This situation creates communication problems where we have to explain how we do our jobs, or even what certain words mean, to our own office mates. This eats up precious time and creates “knowledge gaps”.
Smashing Magazine - a great web resource for developers - has provided an aggregate list of web glossaries for just this problem. Categories include typography, usability, marketing, CSS and XHTML and more.

So if you’re having a problem trying to explain what resolution is to a client or what the heck wysiwyg means, check out this helpful listing:
