Re: Ebisedian orthography facelift

I still can't seem to access it.  I hate .pdf files, especially long ones.
The page loads, the little Microsoft world whirls, and nothing shows up for
two minutes.  In the state that I am in, frantically getting through my mail
so I can pack and get on a jetplane, I can't wait for it.  I'll try again
when I return.  I'm sure it's much nicer.
