<br>Subject: NADS 30.2 Available Online
<br>
<br>Allan Metcalf has completed his work on issue 30.2 of the Newsletter
<br>of the American Dialect Society, and you should be receiving it in the
<br>mail shortly.
<br>
<br>For the first time, Allan has created a Portable Document Format (PDF)
<br>version of the file, now available on the ADS web site at
<br>
<br>http://www.dfjp.com/ads/adsnews.html
<br>
<br>The file is viewed using Adobe Acrobat Reader, a free, cross-platform
<br>application (usable on all flavors of Windows and Macintosh, and many
<br>flavors of Unix) available at
<br>
<br>http://www.adobe.com/prodindex/acrobat/readstep.html
<br>
<br>The user name to access the PDF file is
<br>
<br>vowel
<br>
<br>and the password is
<br>
<br>shift
<br>
<br>I am interested in hearing your thoughts on making the newsletter available
<br>to the public at large as an enticement to become a member. We may also
<br>consider putting past issues online.
