Dear jmh: I am bitterly disappointed that I got "server not responding" to each of your URLs. And to tease you, it was mis-spelled "Routes of English". I am shedding tears as large as horseapples in frustration.

>And to tease you, it was mis-spelled "Routes of English". You are quite right Bill. I have clearly internalised the play on words in the title, I'll change it to avoid confusion. The links work fine from here, so it may be a local problem. An alternative way in is through the http://www.bbc.com or http://www.bbc.co.uk site (same site, different address) and use their search engine if you can get that far.

"server not responding"
I had no problem with routesofenglish. You would have gotten a different error messaqe if the url had been spelled wrong; something like "that url does not exist"

I wqs in BBC, and clicked on header "Routes of English" I'll try again. While browsing around, I found a very extensive list of unusual words. Very short definitions, no etymology (sob,sob). http://phrontistery.50megs.com/p.html URL as given brings up words starting with "p". Only way I could get other letters was by changing the "p" at end of URL to "a" or whatever. Much, much longer than wwftd. P.S. I went back, and discovered that there is no text, only spoken presentation, which I can hear butcannot comprehend.
