My many thanks for Jeff's encouragement. Typically, I shall 
take unfair advantage of it, together with a walloping load of cheek,
like this: Please will anyone who has nothing better to do visit the
page `Introduction' on my site: http://www.englishgrammartutor.com/ .
I ply an earnest argument for dropping the notion `clause' from TG's
terminology. No-one so far has so much as cocked a snook at it.
I am deadly serious but beginning to fear I might have misfired.

  Sophie,
   
  Don't be too good.  You won't fit in.  Throw your bait in the water.  See if anyone bites.

    Hello! I have just been admitted to your list and
    I am quite sure I sound like someone who walks into
    a room and bellows. Please forgive me, but I am anxious
    to find out what you are all talking about, and more anxious still
    to off-load my thoughts on the notion `clause' in Trad Gram's system.
    But promise: I shall be good hereafter.
