For those of you who might be wondering why you have such difficulties spelling correctly, I have finally found the answer:
"English doesn't borrow from other languages - English follows other
languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their
pockets for loose grammar. " (author unknown)
There are very few words in the English language that are actually English -- the rest are Latin, Greek, French, and  German.  It's no wonder we're all so confused.

Office Hours: Tuesday and Thursday, 9-11 and by appointment
 

Some Links of Interest:

Take a look at the literary dictionary created by the students from ENG 284: Introduction to Literary Studies in the Spring of 2002.

Check out Mr. William Shakespeare on the Internet.

You can also see family photos (oooooh!).
