A shot is the combination of a stroke and the situation in which it is used.  3, fiche 1, Anglais, - shot

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS

"Long" is an informal expression used to indicate that a shot went out past the baseline. Important nuance: a "stroke" implies early preparation and a complete follow through. If one were to envision a stroke, one would see a series of sequences, ending with a "shot", i.e. the result of all of the above. Consequently, a "shot" is the result of the "stroke". "Shot" implies a quick, sharp movement because one is focusing on the end result, not the series of sequences leading up to it. A "blow" is rather an imprecise, general term similar in meaning to "shot". Although many would like to maintain these nuances in English, "shot" and "stroke" are often used synonymously. "Blow" is used only rarely. Note, however that although there are two possible equivalents ("coup" and "frappe") in French, neither are semantically identical to the English offerings. The Spanish term "pegada" works well as an equivalent for "shot", although technically the term more specifically refers to the actual hitting action caused by the racket coming in contact with the ball, and not to the end result [cause vs effect].  2, fiche 1, Anglais, - shot

Sets of IRC servers sharing information.  1, fiche 4, Anglais, - IRC%20network

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT

As a user you run a "client" program which connects to a "server" in an IRC network. All servers are interconnected and pass messages from user to user over the IRC network. One server can be connected to several other servers and up to hundreds of clients. Several larger and smaller IRC networks exist. The largest one, called EFnet(Eris Free net), usually serves over 15000 users at any given moment. Smaller ones, like Undernet(10000) and Dalnet(5000), are a lot less populated but often offer more stability and convenience.  1, fiche 4, Anglais, - IRC%20network
