Hello everyone. I am new here and would like to say that I have spent a few hours reading alot of these topics. I like what I see, everyone is open and easy going. Let me tell you a little about myself before I start posting and making replys to your threads. I am 26 years old and live in the United States. I have little to no education post HighSchool other than military training. I have met people from all over the world and enjoy meeting new people and discussing issues much like the ones you find here. I dont claim to know anymore than the next person I just offer my perspective where it is approiapate. One thing I am bad about and hope most of you can overlook is my poor spelling and grammer. I guess its because I didnt study when I was in school, but I always figured as long as I could form a complete Idea in sentance form the spelling and grammer were just sprinkles on top. please feel free to flame me or send me links to spellcheckers hehe.

I am currently in high school and due to high school "abuse" of the english language, I believe I am not as good in english as I could/should be. But the books I am attempting to read (due to the demanding schedule of high school) are "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Grammar and Style" by Laurie E. Rozakis, Ph.d and "The Oxford - Essential Guide to Writing" by Thomas S. Kane. The first book will correct one's writing almost completely from word usage to the efficient usage of grammar. I highly recommend it. The second book will greatly enchance one's writing skills, may it be in effectiveness, efficiency, persuasiveness, etc. This is a must have. Both books will show one many different and unique types of style to write by, which may build one's ability to be very proficient in the english language. I hope I have answered your questions.
Hi, Rules of spelling and grammer are completely arbitrary anyway so as long as peoplecan understand you it dosen't really matter.

Star, Yeah, I think it was the first translator of its kind on the web. Its part of altavista now http://world.altavista.com/sites/auen/pos/babelfish/trns. I think it has alittle more ability than dictionary.com, i.e. you can translate Russian, Japanese, Korean and Chinese as well.
