That’s quite a few. I’m sure I’ll be reaching that limit soon though.
No, I haven’t looked into any other sites. I should do that though. Thank you for the suggestions!

I have over 200 books, at which point LT charges you
$25 to continue uploading. I don’t think that’s too
unreasonable. Have you looked into any other sites i.e
Good Reads, Shelfari and
bookarmy

It is an interesting way of doing it. I would actually recommend it because unlike other cataloging software, this automatically has all of the information for each book such as author, publication date, etc (you don’t have to enter all of it yourself) plus it has the covers. It only took me about 10 minutes to enter all 38 books. Their system works really well. All you do is search by title, author and/or ISBN and almost 100% of the time, the exact book I have came up as the first listing. Then you click on it and it adds it to your library. That’s it.

This is very interesting. Would you recommend this software? How long did it take you to enter your 38 books? My friends always joke that I have my own personal lending library, so this might be a good way to keep track of things.

I assume it was done by the Department of Applied Linguistics. I can’t say for sure though as the article simply says the study was done by researches at Reading University. I’m not entirely sure I agree with the idea of “bad” as one of the words going away. To me, it seems like “bad” is too much of a fundamental word in English to really ever disappear. I could be wrong though.

Was this study performed by the Department of Applied Linguistics at Reading? It seems to have a very good reputation so they might be right in their predictions for words on their way out, but “bad” going away? What does that say about the state of society?

This is priceless! Joshua was way ahead of his time.
