OK, I posted the complete collection.

It has not yet been checked for mistakes. Sometimes there are delinerate overlapping in consecutive postings for correction purposes.

I hope this is useful for some here. There is still lots to do.

I just stumbled upon the full list and all I can say is "Wow ... thanks for putting all that work in." I hadn't checked the "official" grammar section in a while, but did today and saw it was down (is it permanently gone??!?), so discovering all your hard work was a great surprise! I can't wait to dig in... Thanks again. You're a good man.

Uh, maybe just something I don't know how to do as I've not been around ChinesePod as much as I wish, but where exactly is this Grammar Index you posted? On ChinesePod itself? I'll keep looking through other posts, but thought there should be a link or something?

Err... scratch my last post, didn't see it a little farther down the conversation list.... yet then wonder why you post another message about it. :P And that thing took so darn long to load, I just went "Back" and came here to post this instead. Shouldn't maybe something like that just be a WORD file or HTML file on the 'net? Or maybe in docs.google.com? Seems like the formatting would be better then too and one can save it to their computer easily. Just my suggestion...

Or should be a Wiki thing where we can all edit and collaborate, no?

Actually the content is coming from a dirty, ugly Excel file. Not even in 2NF. The Wiki idea is not bad. Haven't thought about that one. Will try it out later (--> after Christmas). Yes, collaboration is definately the way to go if we want to turn this mess into something really shiny. However, my dream container would be a normalized data base.
