SUBMITTING A NEW ENTRY....Each submitted entry is first verified before inclusion into BABEL. Please let me know where you have seen your submission used or described; i.e., name of publication, page number, who uses it, where it is used, etc. Furnish COMPLETE details in order that your entry may be verified from this end via the Internet
Submit your entry via e-mail to: BabelGlossary@erols.com Include the word BABEL or GLOSSARY on your Subject line.
NOTE 2
SAVING AND PRINTING....To have instant access to BABEL, I suggest that you download the complete file rather than to search on line.
For the HTML version, download babel.html or babelhtm.zip and save it on a floppy disk or on your hard drive. Use your browser to locate any entry instantly.
For Printing, use the TEXT version. Download babeltxt.zip, unzip it, and set your printer for sixty (60) lines per page, with a six (6) character left hand margin, using 8-1/2" x 11" paper. Punch holes for a loose leaf binder and keep it on your desk. Again, instant access.
