Del.icio.us is a social bookmarking where people can save and store webpages according to what they find useful and interesting. In this way, you are not supposed to waste your time visiting many websites (even if you have to trust in their choices) and you can always find what you saved, no matter the computer you used.
I looked for something interesting to share which deals with language learning and blogs. This is what I found:
Tips for Formal Writing, which gives you some suggestions about formal writing. It was written focusing on the most recurring mistakes of students. I like the remark in the introduction: "It is a long list. People have a lot of problems" :) Yeah!Because optimism is the salt of life!
George Orwell: 6 Questions/6 Rules, which presents some helpful suggestions focusing essentially on one verb: to simplify. It may seem quite paradoxical, but this is one of the most important things I learned during these years of university. And it's the easiest way to avoid mistakes, too, it's true ;)
English Through Stories, where you can find some episodes to read and to listen to in order to improve your language skills. The plots seem quite interesting!
How to Use English Punctuation Correctly...now comes the worst part :) Well, punctuation is something that it's not so easy to use even in your mother tongue, just think in foreign languages... :o
Dictionary of English slang and colloquialism of the UK, which I found very very nice. If you read some pages, you realize that, for the most part, many words are sexual references. Anyway, let's try to guess some words, just to put you into test:

- Fassino cannot be properly defined a babe magnet
- Uh, my boyfriend is a ball and chain! (I don't think he's going to read it but..you never know so..ehm, just joking ;)
- Jim went to Egypt last summer. The place was amazing, but he got Montezuma's revenge ;(
Hope you enjoy them!
