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.

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 much!

Philologists who chase
A panting syllable through time and space,
Start it at home, and hunt it in the dark
To Gaul, to Greece, and into Noah's Ark.

No steam or gas ever drives anything until it is confined.
No Niagara Falls is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled.
No life ever grows until it is focused, dedicated, and disciplined.
