Dear LINGUIST List Subscribers,

We are so proud of our readers for bringing us this close to $55,000 so quickly! 
Now it's time to share our special LingQuest guest saga... it's just too good to
conceal any longer. 

Introducing SpecGram's chapter, also known as: I'd Like to Buy a Vowel.

"General Ling was looking over mission briefings at the Illocutionary Force's 
headquarters when a messenger came in: 'There is an urgent, coded message from 
the enclave of Echolalderaan, sir.'


'Place it there on the desk, lad.' General Ling unrolled the scroll and began to 
read..."

Curious to know what the message says? You can read it here!

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
