[Corpora-List] [CLLT/CORPORA] help with world Englishes

[Eric Atwell]

Marcia,

I have collected 200,000-word samples of English-language text from websites 
from 90 different countries around the world, including many where
English is L2, and all your specfied variants except Scottish English
(Scotland does not have its own Top Level Domain, unfortunately).

Is this any use to you?
