Peeps! I like your site very much so far. Anything that helps legitimize our language stutus even in our own peoples eyes is a great thing. I do have a query though I just viewed the word/S? ago and although it does sound like its one word, for me it really is not a = (as you so rightly stated) to go = go so for me if it wasn't writen as two word it should at least have a hyphen. What do you think? Are there any plans in the future to show the roots of some of the words we use? That would be so good.

Brafick - I agree, ago is just ago -as in a long time ago. It's not what I'd expect for the WI - I'm going to! Probably should be A-Go or ah-go as in ah-go tell mommy on yuh.
