E-mail this message to a friend Thus far in our competition, folks from an unprecedented number of speech communities have been chattering about this challenge in their many sociolects. With less than 24 hours left, however, small talk has given way to more formal tenor as our competition moves closer to its completion. Yes, our Sociolinguists are closing the gap and are now poised just $250 behind Syntax!

Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor. Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer.
