Fantastic -- thanks, Kehinde! I'll just do a quick little edit to add smijen's name to the intro, then away we go!

Shurtagal, do you have a summary for the catalog?

Post by **chocoholic** » February 13th, 2008, 9:34 pm

Shurtagal, I just saw your first post from way back where you said you'd like somebody else to write the summary. Now, bear in mind I don't like writing these much either (lol), plus I have not actually read this book:

This, is a Librivox recording, all Librivox recording's are in the "public domain".

If that sentence looks acceptable to you, then perhaps listening to this 1895 grammar handbook would be a good idea.

I'm putting that in until someone (you? Kehinde?) comes up with a decent summary. It will be easy for me to change later. If I don't catalog tonight, then I will have to do it with my 4-year-old's "assistance" tomorrow.

Nice, thats actually quite good. Thank you. for the inspiration I've added just a little bit to it. Tell me what you think. That kind of assistance is so fun

though (you're right) not always the most productive.

Throughout the ages languages continue to adapt and change. English, being a relatively new language is a nice example of that. Though the English vocabulary is continually evolving the system of punctuation has remained constant for the most part. So constant that grammar books from 1895 are still applicable today. So much so that if the following sentence looks correct to you, then perhaps listening to Paul Allardyce's "Stops, or How to Punctuate" would be a good idea.

"This, is a Librivox recording, all Librivox recording's are in the "public domain"."

Oh, much better, thank you! I'll just clean up the (ahem) punctuation a little bit.

That's another one.

(Sorry, can't help it, it's in the blood. Lots of teachers in the family.)

All done! Everyone please check the catalog page; there are a lot of names and URL's.

Amazing!!

Thank you so much to everyone. But Particularly to Chocoholic, Kehinde, and Timberwolfmage for nagging me, PLing, and doing the final really long edit.

P.S. the catalog page looks correct to me.
