All,<br><br>It continues to be a problem in the posting of messages on our list that some people's<br>messages get blocked by Linguist-List, which archives our messages. I have pointed<br>this out to L-L several times and asked for a clarification, but have not received one.<br>
If this happens to you, please just send me the message, and I'll forward it.  In the<br>meantime, here are some messages from our member Stacey Churchill.  <br><br>ITEM 2<br>

The comments on the stories - over 1000 on one item - are an amazing 
readout of widespread misunderstanding and ignorance, a fascinating 
glimpse into why language policies are so difficult to manage in any 
society, including a highly educated and relatively tolerant society
