Editor’s Note

Welcome back for another issue!  We trust the reader will enjoy the eclectic nature of these essays.  We encourage the readership to comment on any aspect of the publication.  These will be printed as circumstances permit in subsequent issues. 

We are always on the the lookout for new and innovative works dealing with language with a small and a capital “l”.  Student scholarship is solicited and always to be encouraged.

We wish all of you, our readers, a happy holiday season and a happy New Year!
