 AK>> Olly Richards, author of the "Teach Youself Foreign Language
 AK>> Graded Readers" series, speaks eight languages and is the man

 AK>> Why is the subj "old stuff"? Because I ask you why there is
 AK>> no "the" article before "author".



 AH> I mentioned awhile ago that "the" may be optional in a sentence

Bye, Ardith!
