Bruce et al., Many thanks for the info on "irrealis"--I'm going to add this to my personal lexicon (the first addition in 20 years). BTW, I'm gald to be back on the list. I moved about 3 years ago and didn't re-join until a few weeks ago. Great list! larry ------------------------------- Larry Beason Director of Composition Dept. of English, Univ. of South Alabama Mobile, AL 36688 334-460-7861 ------------------------------- To join or leave this LISTSERV list, please visit the list's web interface at: http://listserv.muohio.edu/archives/ateg.html and select "Join or leave the list" Visit ATEG's web site at http://ateg.org/
