Ogden's Basic English ...

Posted by Frank DiSalle on November 30, 2010

Once again, I have found an interesting site for lovers of the English language. And it's a new one for me! I'm not sure I can even describe it, but it is called Ogden's Basic English. It is based on the idea that for the most part, you can get by with 850 words, and less than a dozen rules of grammar.I like systems that make things simple.Here you will find the Word ListHere are the 10 Rules of GrammarYou'll even find The Light Side of LanguageThis site is full of information, and will provide you with hours of enjoyment!The standalone URL is http://ogden.basic-english.org/basiceng.html
