Another great newsletter, Jennifer. Are we a dying breed? People who are interested in Latin and Greek roots, etc.?

• Words often Confused

Dear Jennifer,
I'm a new subscriber to your writing tips, and already feel enthusiastic about it.  I laughed until my sides ached at your collection of music students' exam answers. Some of them I remember from my childhood, so they are oldies but goodies -- and priceless!
You and I may be kindred souls.

• The Power of Words

• Homonyms and Homophones

Hi Jennifer,
I just thought I'd say THANKS for "The Write Way" I have already learned so
much from it.  Please feel free to email any writing tips you have or may
come across.  I am a Broadcast/Communications major and English writing
minor, so you see I need all the help I can get.  
Hope to hear from you soon,

Hi Jennifer Stewart,

I've been a subscriber of yours for quite a while.
Whenever I get the chance to read your ezine,
I gain a thing or two quickly to use in my everyday
life. Thank you.

As I've seen from many of your articles & your web site over the
past year or so, you're a very straight forward & serious minded
business person, therefore we've added you to the list of people
we'd like to review our new e-book before our final updates and release
to the public.

Sincerely,
Kunle Olomofe & Natly Switon

• Developing Ideas in Paragraphs

Dear Jennifer,

Just finished your newsletter -- had to write to tell you how enjoyable it is.
Yours is one of my "must reads."  A little strange because I devote most
of my web time to business articles and business ezines.

I've just started a small ezine myself (58 subscribers) and would like your
authorization to use that informative article on the U.S. Standard railroad
gauge.  It would be for a future issue ...
Respectfully

expertise on words and their uses.

Thank you so very much.                Vern Taylor

"It looks like I'll be teaching a 3 to 4 week computer class with younger people (19 to 25) which will give me the opportunity to include internet stuff.  Usually my computer classes are 1 week long, the basics and with older adults (I have lots of patience with fears).   "Regarding the upcoming class, would it be okay with you to involve them in the completion of some of your writing quizes?  They are so good!"  Susan J.
