Slot

A slot is an opening in a computer. It is often referred to as an expansion slot and can be used to add new capabilities. Slots are usually located in the front or back of the computer and accept expansion boards. A computer may also contain a bay for a disk drive. If a computer is very new, it may not yet have slots available for expansion. However, most desktop computers now come with expansion slots installed so that they can be used to add new hardware capabilities in the future.

A slot is defined by its function in the grammatical system. It can accommodate any type of morpheme sequence. It is a job position. For instance, a copy desk has an opening for the chief copy editor. A job opening in an airport is also a slot. A flight authority authorizes an airport to provide a slot for a plane. In some cases, this may lead to unpredictable results. However, a slot does not always have to be empty.

A slot can be either transitive or intransitive. When used as a verb, it means “to fit into a groove.” The meaning of’slot’ varies greatly. Sometimes it means putting something into a lock or slot. In some contexts, a slot can be a doorknob or a hinge, depending on its purpose. It can also refer to a hollow in the throat above the breastbone.
