It IS, Rhuby? Strange, I've never heard it so named. OU always stands for Open University in the conversations I have seen, as the largest Uni in Europe. I have only ever heard reference to Oxford - rarely pure, never simple

While we are talking about Universities, how about a discussion of the origin of the term;. I have heard several, which I do not remember accurately.

Re: Second-language writers: WON & paulb, yep, those are the two who stand out (yes, Conrad was obvious, but gee whiz, give a girlŪ a break  ). And then there is Samuel Beckett - but he wrote in French.
