I think that, as you mention, the Bible in Basic English might precede Cressman's Bible, or they are at least concurrent.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for all the interesting feedback.Suzanne McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033350578895908993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11875966.post-1150601308534767372006-06-17T20:28:00.000-07:002006-06-17T20:28:00.000-07:00The Bible in Basic English is here.I am not sure i...The Bible in <A HREF="http://www.crosswire.org/study/passagestudy.jsp?mod=BBE#cv" REL="nofollow">Basic English</A> is here.I am not sure if this link will stay but the Bible is <A HREF="http://www.crosswire.org/study/fulllibrary.jsp?action=closeAll&open=Biblical+Texts" REL="nofollow">listed here</A>.Suzanne McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033350578895908993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11875966.post-1150533045256979162006-06-17T01:30:00.000-07:002006-06-17T01:30:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00471792031082544671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11875966.post-1150514518982771742006-06-16T20:21:00.000-07:002006-06-16T20:21:00.000-07:00In the same period a guy by the name of Charles Og...In the same period a guy by the name of Charles Ogden had a similar idea. He was aiming at a different target, namely, a competitor to Esperanto. He ended up proposing a kind of English pidgin that doesn't sound like a pidgin. Nonetheless, ESL types can tell you there is a loosely defined language called Basic English with a severely restricted vocabulary that is still around.<BR/><BR/>Check out the fairly accurate wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_EnglishRichard A.
