This is the most impressive academic site I have seen, and I have seen many of them! Beautifully designed, remarkably informative, and excellent navigation. I particularly liked the animated development of the alphabet. I will be showing this to all my students, but particularly to my Graphic Design History students. Congratulations.

Terrific. Mind if I use your site in my courses? Of course I will give full credit.

As an editor for grammar books, I love your website! Please comment on "nominative pronoun." It isn't listed on your website.
Thank you!

I checked out ODLT and I think it's immensely helpful; I'm a magazine editor and I'm constantly having to direct freelance writers to websites that can help them better understand grammar and linguistics, so you should see a lot of traffic headed that way.

BTW, I already love Your ODLT site. English is not my mother tongue and I've spent quite some time leafing through a variety of tutorials to find the information you so easily give away for free.

What a wonderful gift you have given all of us who are interested in words, language, and how to use them carefully, wisely...and (I might add) joyfully. Thank you!!!

I had constructed a pale shadow of this oeuvre of yours, also to aid me in a better understanding of the parts/figures of speech - and I have just found your marvellous pages which dwarf my attempt. Thank you very much, Mr. Moot! The etymology and example sections are beyond pearls

Brief and clear explanations are quite useful to the beginner or advanced.

Hey. I took a look at ODLT. What a great idea! I am almost
clueless when it comes to terms used to talk about language,
but haven't come upon a way of remedying that without devoting
more time than I have for linguistic study. Thanks for making
this available.

Very useful, especially for those whom have suffered the injustice of a mid 1980's Leftist post-modernist education, where speaking and writing one's own langauge is considered subordinate to all manner of useless humanities and post-modernist dogma of social studies. etc

Hi there,
I heard about MooT through the A Word A Day newsletter as it was a link at the bottom that I decided to explore. Very entertaining and educational! Also, I think your Online Dictionary of Language site is great. I'm a student pursuing a double major in English, so your explanation of so many literary and linguistic terms is fantastic and most useful!
Thanks

ODLT is a marvelous contribution. I note virgule's slant isn't discussed altho solidus' slant is contrasted with "forward slash." It would help if this distinction is continued in considering virgule. Best regards.
