Jo, thanks for this. It's exactly the kind of steer that's so useful to newcomers. What a great resource. A few more like this and I'll be an (Anglican) adherent to the tsuwm creed of the great god LIU

>These are not actually dictionaries, but should be of interest to AWADers...Wow, Bingley that was a really good steer. It's taken me 'til the weekend to get time to check it out, but I loved where the Quinion.com site took me. In case others haven't yet LIU  I strongly recommend the trial. I got led to these other sites which might interest AWADers too: http://www.utas.edu.au/docs/flonta/Information.htmlDE PROVERBIO "Founded in January 1995 as the world's first refereed electronic journal of international proverb studies, De Proverbio soon became a book publisher also, devoted to paremiology (study of proverbs) and paremiography (collection of proverbs)." (their intro) http://vos.ucsb.edu/shuttle/english.htmlVoice of the Shuttle A superb general gateway to the humanities (I'm probably teaching most regulars how to suck eggs, but if one person finds a useful link...) http://andromeda.rutgers.edu/~jlynch/Writing/links.htmlWriters’ Resources page lists hundreds of links, and if there is not at least one here for every AWADer... well, try the home page, then! On a less specific note, I still find http://www.britannica.com/has a good general searching and linking ability. This is such a useful self-help group: praise be the LIU

Are you implying the sites are a load of bull? If so, we shall have to milk the web for other sites to cow you with, starting with:

Not at all, Jackie. I'm more than satisfied with a plateful of baked vegies, and a salad, and cheese, and nuts -- and, of course, the odd Anzac biscuit!
