I've just been pointed to a neat site that I've added to my list. Ancientscripts.com - well worth a look.

Pretty cool. Thanks again for doing this, Max. The site looks better than ever. I smiled when I saw the disclaimer...and the Arsenal logo!

I notice that this page now has links to some charity sites. Is the page legitimate, or a scam of some sort?

Yes, that seems to be what it says.

right up on top of Max's list is Bartleby.com, which is an excellent resource. a while back I got this note from a reader: I wanted to let you know about ReadPrint.com -- a massive non-profit library similar to Bartleby -- except its far better organized and user friendly. We've been using it extensively in school nowadays -- it's great for doing research since you can search within the books. from a glance, it looks pretty good.

I'm probably not in the appropriate thread here, but I'm a newcomer, so looking forward to communicating with some of you, and of course learning a lot. I saw a thread where some were discussing the place of the apostrophe, which made me realise I have come to the right place for help. You see, my grammar needs a lot of attention and there's a lot I need to learn in that area, so hoping some of you will help educate this mature student.

Okay, here's your first test - can you repeat this sentence without mangling any vowels - "Australia will win the next Bledisloe Cup."

As to 'grammatic ' stranger
at the top of the page. Welcome. I just joined in June 08. There is so much stuff here you will love it. The apostrophe
discussion is what got me started. Enjoy
