Jan 29, 2004 I hope the readers and Matt will forgive me for writing such a brief article but with trying to get the kinks out of my children’s book,“Billy’s Jungle Adventure”, currently being published by Lulu, setting up my novel,“In The Name Of Honor”,for a new e-zine that will debut at the end of March, writing articles for my Native Unity Website and deleting e-mail spam, my time is pretty well covered. Every now and then something comes through Outlook Express that makes me realize the force of the Internet, its worldwide impact plus the value of e-zines such as useless-knowledge.com. I received the following e-mail a short time ago this afternoon. Dear O’Neil – I am writing a reading comprehension book for students for proficiency exams in English. This book will include passages of a wide range of topics. If you give me permission, I’d like to use your article called "Frank Speaks Broken English". Kind Regards Yusuf Buz Head of English Department International School of Prishtina KOSOVO I wrote that article for Useless-Knowledge on July 5th last summer and completely forgot about it until today. I’m not only surprised that the gentleman wants to use the piece, which I wrote as a bit of whimsy, but that he was able to find it in the first place.
