The INTERNET is not anything like it was back in 1994, 2004, or 2014. In the 11 years that we've just lived through, changes in information searches, the addition of CHATBOTs and AI to most search engine sites have really made the listings we've maintained obsolete. Other than we like them and have singled them out for their no bullshit, PRE-2K, 1.0 approach to information, we will keep those that remain here so we, the people behind grammarian.com, can use them as we need to and not give any more info-fodder to the big engines in the net.
