  How to provide a Glossary / a Vocabulary list
        [0] Use the templates for
        * VOCABULARY lists          --> template explanation // template printout
        
        * GLOSSARY compilations    --> template explanation // template printout

        [1] Give the title and (if necessary) the paragraph(s) of the text
              the vocabulary items originate from
                e.g.   from the text "What about libraries" by Susan Todler

        [2] Provide your own name as the provider of the glossary
                e.g.   compiled by Daniela Meyer'

        [3] Sort the items according to
                (a) their context - separated by empty lines where appropriate
                     and
                (b) their alphabetical order

        [4] Always find/offer a meaningful translation for the context of the text at hand,
             indicate if a word has another
                e.g. receiver - Telefonhörer (hier); auch Empfänger, ...

        [5] nouns:
             use the singular form of the word (regardless its appearance in the text itself)              for both original and translation
                e.g.  directory (even if the text reads 'directories' for that matter)

        [6] verbs:
             always make sure you indicate a word as a verb (to + infinitive)
             - keeping in mind zero derivation (i.e. noun equals verb)
                 e.g.   to enter data
                         (to) progress - vorankommen, Fortschritt

        [7] adverbs/adjectives:
             if necessary/helpful make a clear distinction between adverb and adjective
                e.g.    kind(ly) - freundlich(erweise - Adv.)
