Visual Refresh
This isn't the prettiest site in the world -- I admit. It's meant to be functional. Still, I sometimes think it could look better, so I spent a few minutes today sprucing it up. Hopefully I didn't break anything.
News is slow -- for most schools around the U.S., winter break is upon us. With students taking a break, the site is also slowing down. Hopefully when you all return from break there will be some interesting new features and bug fixes!
Happy break.

Interface Changes, Keyboard Shortcuts and the Ancient Passive Infinitive
I made a couple of small changes to the search interface, mostly by adding keyboard shortcuts:
Next I coded an inflectional ending for the "ancient passive infinitive" in -ier. Lucretius is fond of using words like vocārier instead of vocarī (Allen and Greenough, New Latin Grammar, 183.4).
- When you visit the page, the cursor is automatically placed in the search box. Just start typing because there's no need to click on the search box!
- You can press the up and down arrows to scroll through the list.
- You can press the enter key to view a word.
