'Contact Information' synonym

2009-10-23T17:55:23Z

In my work, I end up always using the term 'contact information' for
stuff like address, phone, e-mail, etc. and I'm getting tired of using
it. Is there a smaller synonym for it?
Thanks

'Snapshot' or more commonly 'Snap' are often used. I think these terms
originated c1900

Alternative to "photograph"

2009-10-20T13:16:04Z

I'm looking for a "native english" alternative to the word "photograph".
To give an example, we have the word "Lichtbild" in German, which
describes the concept of an image created by or using light in native
german words. Is there an analogous word in English or has "photography"
been the first and only term ever used to describe photographs? Thank you

Re: 2 English sentences- do they make sense and are they correct?

Thanks a million for both answers. Great help for me. :-)

Re: 2 English sentences- do they make sense and are they correct?

I also have no idea what this is supposed to mean as I have never heard
of a "certificate of receipt".
"Further due to" is incorrect as is "further to" - only "due to" is
grammatically correct.

Thanks, Clive.
The sentences are from a translation contest. (English->Hungarian).
Is the second not erroneous and a due is missing before the "to"?
(instead of "further to" further due to"?
Thanks in advance.
