'Thanks very much for the printer-friendly versions.'

'Thank you for the section on 'idiomatic expressions'. I find them very useful.'
Ewa (Poland)

'I've read quite a few of your articles about words, and find them to be most informative, amusing and helpful. Thank you very much. The one from Diane Nicholls about actual, eventual, important was very interesting. So much so, that I wanted to print it and keep it, for reference.'
Roger (Australia)

'Like all the other onestopenglish sites, the Macmillan English Dictionaries one is excellent too! Thanks for so much useful and interesting information.'
Renee (Croatia)

'I very much enjoy your magazine!'
Nina (United Kingdom)

'I really enjoyed the May issue of your magazine, particularly the articles by Diane Nicholls, which were extremely interesting and well written - quite inspirational! It is nice that you can click on a link to find out about the author too. Keep up the good work!'
Ricky (United Kingdom)

'I have read the MED Magazine for the first time and I am writing to congratulate you and your team on your fabulous work.'
Francisco (Spain)

'I have really been enjoying the columns - and the new word of the month! Thanks to the contributors! Your webzine is excellent. I have recommended it to several colleagues and have had lots of good feedback. An excellent resource for teachers and students of linguistics.'
Julia (Australia)

'I teach English in Mexico. Since I am American and most of my students’ contacts are with Americans, I teach American usage. Therefore, it was useful to me to read the article on pragmatics in the American English version. … I think I’m going to like your magazine and believe it will be helpful to me and my students. Keep up the good work!'
Jim (Mexico)

'Congratulations! There is a lot of good material on the web but this really is special. What can I say, except thanks.'
Linda (Israel)
