I have to say, I like the second link, although I've seen it before. I think I'd lost it though.

Fancy seeing you here. I can't get on WF.com, saw this place, and thought I'd join.

Yes I have seen the second link before to. Good job though!

Some links I've pilfered from another forum.

Peter,

All of these are some very good links. I have used the Bartleby and Brian links before, and I visit Bartleby on a regular basis.

I was impressed with the latest links you provided as well, and have added them to my favorites.

I've found this site incredibly helpful:

Shall I sticky this?

The links are very helpful

ya whisp..i agree..this would be a great sticky!

Here is a link worth visiting. An organization dedicated to helping writers. Make sure to check out the stacks link on this website.

Here is a great research link, including info on writing.

Wikipedia Main Page

Ah wikipedia! Great site.
Kudos to them. ( That does mean respect right?)

Without Wikipedia, I don't know where I'd be.

Excellent links! Thank you everyone. :)

Another awesome resource you can consider adding is "Grammar Girl: Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing" (look it up, I can't post the URL yet).

It's a podcast and a full database website with great resources. It's funny and witty and I listen to it on my way to class in my iPod.

I actually enjoy learning grammar (too bad this wasn't available when I started english at the 5th grade ;) ...)

Without Wikipedia, I don't know where I'd be.

I know where I'd be. Failing. Everything. Except history; my teacher didn't like the fact that most of historical knowledge was from wikipedia...

wikipedia needs to be taken with a good dose of salts [pun intended], since anyone can add info there and not everyone who does, is an 'expert' worth paying attention to... i'd counsel you all to never JUST consult wiki, but to check whatever you find there against more reliable sources, before considering it etched in stone...

Agreed! Wikipedia is maybe a place to start. That's all.
