This is a plug for "Verbatim, the language quarterly", a magazine certain to be of interest to devoted readers of net.nlang. The magazine is edited and published by Laurence Urdang (a well-known lexicographer). The issues include articles, book reviews, and letters on matters similar to those discussed in this group. There is also a cryptic crossword and a competition. The current (Winter 1986) issue features winning entries in the annual Verbatim essay competition. Each issue also includes as a supplement a catalogue for the Verbatim Book Club, which sells books on language at discount prices. Subscriptions are $10/yr in North America, $12 or 8 pounds elsewhere. Write to Verbatim, Box 668, Essex, CT 06426-0668, U.S.A. Disclaimer: I have no connection with this magazine except for being a happy subscriber. -- \\\\ Graeme Hirst University of Toronto Computer Science Department //// utcsri!utai!gh / gh.toronto@csnet-relay / 416-978-8747
