Just the other day I wanted to know exactly what (sic) means when you read it in news articles. I kind of guessed what it meant but I wanted a hardcore definition.. So without even thinking about it I typed in to google "define (sic) and it worked! I got my answer!

I still use xe.com, too! ;) You're right, though. No-one is ever taught how to use a search engine properly (at least my generation weren't), and that's what inspired me to write this series. Shhh!

I had a friend complaining how she was busy and then still had to do some research and find out how to grow wheatgrass in order to help her sister with an assignment.

Some great tips there Nick .... but i just can't let go of xe.com i'm used to seeing the graphical breakdown ! It really is an amazing tool when you know how to get the most out of it.
