Stillman and Harkins for-evah!

Actually I remember trying hard to diagram sentences in English. Do you young'uns even know what sentence diagrams are, I mean, do they even teach that any more in schools??

Anyway, taking Spanish in high school taught me a ton about grammar. Kind of like that was a warmup to tackle Russian!

Stillman and Harkins for-evah!

Yeah!

It's funny.. I learned more about sentence diagrams in my artificial intelligence computer programming class in LISP than any English class..

OK, my LISP sucks.

Just read a few reviews, Introductory Russian Grammar is on it's way.
I have a feeling that my Duff & Makaroff is a little outdated. Thanks

I really haven't needed to use LISP after that class.. so I'm not very good with it anymore. I'll stick to C/C++ or Java for most applications.

Awesome! Somebody actually bought a book we recommended to them! GKnight, it's a very good book, I think you'll be rather pleased
