Subject: Re: Present tense in newsbreak announcements



While I don't know of a separate newgroup/disc. list for usage, I do want to

remind ADS-L participants that the Usage Committee is attempting to start up a

newsletter and would welcome the kind of discussion on present tense usage in

headlines and on singular they/their as submissions. If someone desires to do

so, please submit your ideas/comments/short articles, etc., to me either via

e-mail or snail mail. Thanks.



Alan
