Based on a quote by Philip Roth Hello Senior Scribe, Your site is truly amazing. I browsed around a bit and found a treasure trove of information which is easily accessible, easily maneuverable, attractive, beckoning further research, and suitable for any research library. What I do not understand is why your material is not in most public and private research library data banks. Your project is truly a Magnum Opus. Congratulations. Robert Martin San Francisco, California Hello Senior Scribe, I just want you to know how amazing I think your website is. I use it almost every day. I am a 9th and 10th grade English teacher, and I require my students to memorize one Latin or Greek root every day. Needless to say, students who have had me for two years do very well on the SATs. I use your website to come up with lists of English words that contain a specific root. It used to take me hours to do a week s worth; now, I can do it in about five minutes. Thank you so very much! Kim McClungKent, Washington I just wanted to send a quick email saying I love this site. I am giving my Biology students a word of the day (a Latin prefix, root, or suffix). This website makes it easy to get definitions and examples. Thank you for putting this together.
