Conference planning is proceeding: --There's a checking account (audited daily by Ketchum, Fleeceum, and Scoot) that has plenty of room in it for your registration fees. --The campus campus caterer has been notified and assured that ATEG is not the national organization of the grammar police. --A fascinating program is developing; for example, **"Hairston Revisited" **"Notes from the Front: Grammar in and out of the Public Schools" **"Teaching a Simplified Systematic Phrase-Structure Grammar (Web enhanced)" **"The A-gramattical Nature of Texts" **A keynote speaker certain to mesmerize you with wit, erudition, wisdom, relevance, and a Kringla recipe. ------------------------------------------- Registration information is availiable at <http://sites.netscape.net/desawyer/ateg2k/ateg2k.htm> ______________________________________________________________________ Dave Sawyer, local host, ATEG-2000 <http://sites.netscape.net/desawyer> North Hennepin Community College 7411 85th Ave. N.
