Browser memory meme

Stolen from vashti and Caramel Betty

Yeah another meme. I should probably invent Exciting Events to write about instead, but that would take effort. Anyways...

Use the autocomplete function of your browser. Type in each letter of the alphabet, and see what the first website it provides is. Delete and repeat, so you cover all the letters of the alphabet. No need to link to the exact page. If it's not work-safe, or inappropriate for some reason, say so. If there's nothing showing, say that too.

I find languages fascinating, though I'm not really that good at learning them on my own - feedback and interaction works really well. Yet to find a decent online "Teach yourself..." type thing, for instance. Or the CDs you can buy. They all seem to be pants.

I'd love to be competent in Latin, though.

They do a reading latin course too http://www3.open.ac.uk/courses/bin/p12.dll?C01A297_1_0

I'd love to redo latin, I've forgotten so much now, it'd be interesting to see how much of it came back.

The vocab might. The grammar... argh. Too many rules. I thnk if I went back to latin i'd haveto spend a couple of months beforehand revising all the little intricacies of construction and use of tenses and so forth. Not to mention all the tenses and constructions we don't have in english (although I do like the future participle - that's a novel concept :)). I'd've thought this a silly statement before I studied latin, but I swear, no other language has half so much grammar as that one.

Yeah, I really like a number of the courses they offer but couldn't put them towards anything useful. Like, I'm not sure I'd really want to do a whole Classics degree. If you could include that as part of the 180 points for a post-graduate thing, it'd be kinda cool. Though I guess you could do it as prep for the post-grad stuff, or do the undergraduate diploma, but yeah. I'd quite like to find an interesting MA/MSc to do.

Also, why does everyone other than the OU have really crap distance courses? They seem to be almost entirely MBAs and, uh, things about distance learning. (Over-simplification, but the options really are very limited.)
