15 years ago today my site at About.com went live with an article on English idioms used in technology. Admittedly, a number of the idioms are rather dated as the internet has grown into something quite different from what is was in 1997. However, one thing hasn't changed and that's the usefulness of the internet to help people learn. Thank you to all the visitors to this site over the years. I'm looking forward to the next 15 years of helping out online with English learning and teaching.

Dear Sir: I’m an English teacher in Cúcuta, Colombia, South America.
I have owned an English institute for 21 years and my team and I have
done a great job with excellent results.
From the day I found you, (I don’t remember how many years), I have never changed you for any other site. I’ve use your advices, your techniques, sometimes feeling sorry I don’t have much time to investigate more.
I admire your dedication, your easy ways to explain the grammar, and I hope to enjoy your work for many more years.
Congrats on your 15th anniversary. Keep on the good work, so people
like me can enjoy using your great knowledge.
Thank you. Martha Barrera
Dear Martha,

Dear Sir: Congratulations! I am a Cuban teacher who often follows your lessons. Would be possible to get some information about the terms and the grammar used in diplomatic documents?
Thanks in advance
