Re: Website update

No new content yet, but I added a Java applet that implements an Explorer
type tree-index into the Reference Grammar for easier navigation through
what is becoming a large site.  For those of you with Java-challenged
browsers, I have maintained a link to the old hyperlink Table of Contents as
well.

The new index is at www.graywizard.net/amman_iar.htm
The old Table of Contents is at www.graywizard.net/contents.htm

Check it out.

‘Yes, I think I shall express the accusative case by a prefix!’

A memorable remark! …Just consider the splendour of the words!   ‘I shall
express the accusative case.’  Magnificent!  Not ‘it is expressed’ nor even
the more shambling ‘it is sometimes expressed’, nor the grim ‘you must learn
how it is expressed’.  What a pondering of alternatives within one’s choice
before the final decision in favour of the daring and unusual prefix, so
personal, so attractive; the final solution of some element in a design that
had hitherto proved refractory.  Here were no base considerations of the
‘practical’, the easiest for the ‘modern mind’, or for the million – only a
question of taste, a satisfaction of a personal pleasure, a private sense of
fitness.”
