This post is to announce that I'm starting a new project on this blog, as of today.

This is an idea I've toyed around with for a while, but I'm finally going to start doing it.  The idea is to keep a list of all the grammar questions that my students ask me to which I don't know the answer to.
My reasons for this will be as follows:
1). On the off-chance that someone out there in Internet land will be able to help me with the answer. ... Although to be honest, I'm not holding out much hope on this.  This blog many languishes in obscurity, so the odds of someone who knows the answer to my queries specifically coming across this blog are limited.  So the other reasons will just be to...
2). Keep a record for my own interest
3). Share my own puzzles, and maybe get other people thinking
4). Motivate myself to find the answer and get back to my students.

I will index all the entries on the top of this post.
