dictionary-literate

means of communicating the definition by use of words/phrases like "of or relating to" and "thereof" that give definitions that little kick of genious and sparkle

"This definition on urban dictionary is stupid."
"No, it's not, it sounds like a credible piece of information, what with all those big words and phrases shoved in it in places."
"The writer was obviously dictionary-literate."

eye-literate

How you might feel when you want to use a word in conversation that you're familiar with in reading and writing, you know perfectly well what it means, but you've never heard it spoken, and have no idea how to pronounce it.

"It doesn't matter how many times you click on Font Color. Changing red text to red again won't make a difference. It's eye-dem-... id-em-..." (thinking, "How the *$%^& do you pronounce 'idempotent'??? Guess that makes me eye-literate.")

computer semi-literate

A person half-dedicated to leaving the internet strewn with liter and garbage.
