question

Hi Hancus

1/ Could you give me a link where I can find:

a/ any exact American standard definitions about the economy, finance, banking...

b/ any exact English standard definitions about the economy, finance, banking...

c/ any lessons of grammar. (that means if want to search the use of "gerund", I only type gerund and that'll appear).

d/ any meanings of idioms.

e/ American dictionary

f/ English dictionary.

2/ Please correct (1/)

a) You should try to find forums such as this one, oriented on finances, business, etc.

Search at Yahoo/Google for such forums, e.g. with:

financial online forums
business online forums
economics online forums

and you will find forums such as:
http://www.money-talk.org/board.html

After some familiarization, you should be able to ask there your questions.

A good place for business, should be here at businessweek.com:
http://www.businessweek.com/
Click on Register.
I think then you can have access to all their online forums, which could be very good.

A subscription to the Economist online version would also be very good (but it coasts money).

Thanks Hancus, Could you give me some others forums of business where I can ask anything I want?

My name is Marius Hancu.

I don't have other forums. Please search Yahoo.

OK, I've just found:
http://groups.google.com/group/misc.invest.stocks?lnk=sg&hl=en
http://groups.google.com/group/misc.invest.mutual-funds?lnk=lr&hl=en
which are Usenet groups. You may need Usenet (NNTP) or Google access in order to post to them, but you can read them at Google without being a member.

BTW, I think that even when saying Hello or Hi on such a forum, you should use the  first name (Marius), the full name (Marius Hancu) or an acronym (MH), but not the last name (Hancu).

The last name is used by your boss at the office and has some paternal or seniorial connotation, IMO, and I don't think it's polite on such a forum. Or, your colleagues may use it in an ironic fashion.

This is an acronym AND the initials

You'll find William Shakespeare as WS in the acronym finder in the above.

I think I can use the term acronym for my much more modest name too
