Sure, Christopher, Orwell's classic essay is harder to read on a computer monitor than on paper. But isn't everything? <g>

I was only saying I would be adding the Orwell reference to the next expanded version of the "On-Line Resources" Lab Anthology. So anyone who does not have the essay "on paper" can look up the URL. And I welcome any further references to add to the anthology.

I am not sure the Orwell home page is the "weirdest" I have seen, although the spelling is indeed "weird," and the request for assistance is even more so:

HELP needed! If you finde <sic> some spelling errors (there are many on this page) please contact me! I'm also looking for someone who could correct the summaries on this page!

Is that what you meant? I suspect that the author of the above is not a native English speaker.
