Hi Norm,
I don't seem to be able to get either of these links to work. Is it me or is there a problem with the site?

Subject: Free EASI Webinar: Better Communication With Plain English
Tuesday May 22 at 11 AM Pacific, Noon Mountain, 1 PM
Central and 2 P M Eastern (all US daylight times)
Presenter: Angela Hooker
one of the hazards of academia is that people often believe they must provide lectures, papers and even Web pages using pedantic language with long compound, complex sentences and with, not 4-letter words, but 4-5 syllable words and sound like a doctor or lawyer trying to impress the client with their learning. We sometimes try to dazzle the audience rather than communicating.
Government and some businesses have joined the 'plain English' movement.
The first goal of a Web page should be to communicate rather than to dazzle or entertain.
Angela is an avid proponent of this cause.
Those who register for this free Webinar, whether they attend or not, will receive a link to its recording.
