"The Teachers' Reference to KISS Grammar Constructions, Codes, and

It is currently available only as an MS
Word document. Making both an html and a doc version is becoming very
cumbersome, especially since I can now make links that work within the
KISS site or links that can go from an MS Word document directly to the
KISS website. |
