:Yes and two noteworthy points: (1) LESLLA are the only research group specifically addressing immigrant needs; (2) research on the language of people without formal education is essential because linguists need to factor out the effects of classroom learning (e.g. effect of spelling on pronunciation). I might try to include this in the article. [[User:John Stephenson|John Stephenson]] 02:26, 7 March 2008 (CST)

Wikipedia

Originally I placed a note here indicating that though this article was the same as the Wikipedia one, the latter was 100% written by me and therefore no Wikipedia credit on the article was needed. However, within hours the Wikipedia version was tagged for deletion and then wiped by a couple of anonymous users, so the Citizendium version now needs no Wikipedia authorship tag on this Talk page. For more information on this matter and how it finally led to me to quit Wikipedia, see my blog. John Stephenson 21:38, 6 March 2008 (CST)
