I have decided that it might be useful to add some links on DvP to my list of language links? Does anybody know of some good, non-Wiki, links that I could use, providing a clear, unbiased, concise and yet scholarly definition of each? If the link also gave a brief, objective summary of why prescriptivism is the root of all evil and must be eliminated from this and every other cosmos, so much the better.

Hell, no! You don't seriously expect me to do my own work, do you?!

Over the contrary, my freer. Most of what we know about the pronunciation and usages of Vulgar Latin is from the rantings of Classical Latin prescrips.

Conceded. I amend the previous statement therefore, to exclude all dead prescriptivists.

But, but, think of the future generations. They'll want to know as much about us as we do about our ancients.
