<br>
<br>Thanks to Grant Barrett's painstaking efforts, the new issue of the Newsletter
<br>of the American Dialect Society, vol. 30 No. 1 for January 1998, is now
<br>available at our website
<br>
<br>www.jerrynet.com/ads/index.htm
<br>
<br>The format is different from the print (my hopes to preserve the original with
<br>the HTML generator in PageMaker 6.5 were far from fulfilled), but the content
<br>is the same. Two items in the print newsletter aren't in the web version
<br>because those items are elsewhere on the website. These items are the news
<br>about the 1997 Words of the Year, and the constitution and bylaws.
<br>
<br>We will do this for future issues of NADS. With this initial experience, I'll
<br>be able to provide Grant with the material in better form. And it will be on
<br>our website at the same time it's in the mail for ADS members.
<br>
<br>If you should prefer *not* to bother with the print version, let me know and
<br>I'll remove you from the USmail list for future issues.
<br>
<br>Your comments on this new feature are welcome!
