Gutenberg Press

The Gutenberg press with its wooden and later metal movable type printing brought down the price of printed materials and made such materials available for the masses. It remained the standard until the 20th century. During the centuries, many newer printing technologies were developed based on Gutenberg's printing machine e.g. offset printing.
Johannes Gutenberg was a German goldsmith and inventor best known for the Gutenberg press, an innovative printing machine that used movable type. Gutenberg was born between 1394 and 1400 and died in 1468. In 1438, Gutenberg began a business arrangement with Andreas Dritzehn, who funded his experiments in printing. In 1450, Gutenberg began a second arrangement with German businessman Johannes Fust. Fust lent Gutenberg the money to start a printing business and build a large Gutenberg Press, their printing projects included the now famous Gutenberg Bible. On September 30, 1452, Johann Guttenberg's Bible was published becoming the first book to be published in volume.

Guenizimo

Argentine expression that indicates that the obtained results are the awaited ones. Also indicates acceptance before a proposal, to be in agreement with something. It derives from the word "Buenísimo" that means "very well" and is used in a "gauchesca" form. It arose in the middle of a Systems Migration Project of a gas company between years 2004-2005 when the members of the migration team had to confirm the result of each operation or reached an agreement in the meetings. The members of this group were Carlos, Emanuel "Sano", Gonzalo, Pablo and Uri. The expression began to have greater diffusion in 2006, when soon of finalized this project, the members dispersed and continued using the expression in different scopes. Also it is possible to be found extending the vowels to demonstrate that something pleased much.
