December 27, 2007, I found the "Grammar Police" at http://www.grammarpolice.org/ When I clicked on it just now, (Aug. 16, 2008) I got the message, "WebbleYou Blog Network has shut down. Contact us if you have any remaining business with us, or if you are interested in purchasing one of our domain names."  I wonder if they have moved?

This was Words From Latin  http://modena.intergate.ca/personal/gslj/wordsfromlatin.html  I had saved the URL Feb. 8, 2008.  It worked then obviously.  I can't seem to get it to work today. (August 16, 2008) Sometimes my computer won't go to websites even though they are working.  Don't know if the website is gone or if I can't access it at the moment.

http://www.yofast.org/  This was the YoFast Language Translation Network.  I had saved the URL on Feb. 10, 2008.  I can't seem to get it to work today. (August 16, 2008)  They did have, "Free Language Translator: English - French - German - Italian - Portuguese - Spanish.".
