As far as a forum is concerned, it is near perfectionSmile [:)]. I can't pinpoint where it is needed for improvement but I somehow got confused when I first came in.

Well, I should have said a little confused in posting a message. I put it down to my inexperienced in forum sort of thingSmile [:)].

Ah, I see.
Hi back (for your 'hi' on voice message)

I like the etymology part in your page. Can you add the origin of the word and the phonetic symbols to know how to pronounce? it can avoid a step , to use the dictionary, lazy here :(

Hi whl626, welcome to the forums and thanks for your comments..

I hope to add a help section soon, with screenshots etc. It will help ease any confusion people experience.

Elena: Yes, that would seem to be a logical progression, perhaps we can answer with voice clips (built into the forums).. Meanwhile I'll try and find a good phonetic dictionary in database form, or we'll try and integrate with a 'known' website.

Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea - massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement...

screenshots? What do you mean? The phonetic dictionary sounds impressive. All this sounds fab, if you teach us how to use it.

Well, I believe adding an edit button for people to correct their spelling or grammar mistakes, if they should find out later would be very welcoming, hitch ! I guessSmile [:)] What do you think ?

Maj: It will be self-explanatory.

whl: Yep, self moderation, I can't do that yet. I'm dying to! But it requires an update that's not yet available.. soon soon!
