Ryota's Old Daybook: Language Arts & Basic English
2005/05/26
  Basic English Discussion Group

Most of word-processing or picture-processing machines, online or offline, do their work by controlling electrons, very small bits whose moves make electric current. Those machines are electronic machines. We send out mails, or notes and letters, out of our machines eletronically, and get mails from our friends all over the earth. Years back, the name of those electronic mails became short ones like "e-mails" or "emails." Now boys and girls say those online letters are only "mails."

It's no hard work for us to send the same mail, at the same time, to a great number of different persons listed. That sort of system for sending online letters goes by the name of mailing list. It has been used for years by discussion groups of network users. If you send an online letter to a certain account, or a certain online list, the letter is sent to all the persons listed.

Basic English Mailing List, an online discussion group in Japan, have about 100 persons, most are men, and have an exchange of notes in Japanese about Basic English. The owner of the list is Mr. Ohyama.
