The lessons are a work-in-progress. I’m sure that I’ve missed some details, or got things wrong, in some of the lessons. In my rush to get something going, I’ve probably even misspelled some things.

    Thanks. I am also a bit of an adult beginner.
    You have clarified some issues for me, especially since the Google help sites work like advertisements.
    For the purposes of accessibility, I suggest that you do not use “”"-marks.

    A very useful website and page. I’ve bought so much software to find other websites, but using google is much better :)

    Nice… very nice. Will you be making this into a .pdf? Or atleast make it into a portable format for those of us that travel without an internet linkup?

    Thank you, jerry
