    Thanks to Tony, Mike and others for the pointers to WordSmith Tools.

    What's really confusing is that from Mike Scott's page
    (http://www.liv.ac.uk/~ms2928/homepage.html) I link to http://www4.oup.co.uk/
      and from there I search and link to http://www4.oup.co.uk/isbn/0-19-459283-9
      and then to http://www4.oup.co.uk/bookshop/
      and then to http://www4.oup.co.uk/bookshop/#usa
      and then to http://www.oup-usa.org/
    When I search the US site there is no entry for WordSmith! When I contacted
    the customer service people at Oxford University Press America, they did
    not know what I was talking about ("uhh, maybe contact our electronics
    department?").

    Pretty strange marketing strategy by Oxford.

    By the way, Mike Scott says the best contact person is: "Newlands, Joanne"
