RE: Fwd: AIS Discuss: Response to Morris


Received my ROOTS yesterday.  I am enjoying the lovely story.  So too
the language which is almost lost today in the age of texting (BTW,
ROF, LOL) shorthand if you will.  There was a time when our language
was elequent (sp?) and flowed on the page. Thanks to Anner it is not
totally lost.

Thank you,
Janet
