Last week a new site created in the style of Wikipedia was presented with the aim of teaching the correct use of the Spanish language. Creators of the website, called Wikilengua, have high hopes that their project will be a success:
"The first cyberspace forum that is open and dedicated to bringing together honestly all knowledge about the Spanish language was born today," said Alex Grijelmo, president of the Spanish national news agency Efe, part of the foundation that created the site.
"Wikilengua aims to serve as a place for reflection on language, the grand instrument of human intelligence," Grijelmo said at the presentation.
Grijelmo may be on the right track; according to an Efe report, Wikilengua received roughly 35,000 hits within 24 hours after its public unveiling.
