Hello colleagues, and just a word on behalf of some of our greatly valued members who lack English as a mother tongue, saying essentially that some of our witticisms regarding the language of Shakespeare (and la langue de Moliere, for that matter) are just a shade too recherche at times. By all means, let's stay witty, but within the context of medeevil skawlership. :-) George who breaketh the rules as soon as he setteth them (?) ****************************************************************** George Ferzoco Office: Attenborough Tower 1112 Director of Italian Studies Office Tel: ++ 44 (0)116 252 2654 University of Leicester Office Fax: ++ 44 (0)116 252 2657 School of Modern Languages Secretary Tel:++ 44 (0)116 252 2680 University Road Secretary Fax:++ 44 (0)116 252 3633 LEICESTER LE1 7RH e-mail: [log in to unmask] UNITED KINGDOM http://www.le.ac.uk/ml/gpf2/gpf2.html List owner of italian-studies: http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists/italian-studies List owner of medieval-religion: http://www.mailbase.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
