ETA' E REGIONE PLEASE!!!
Trent'anni, Roma! Grazie mille, siete davvero gentilissimi! Mi sta venendo in mente che quando l'avrò terminato, per ringraziarvi potrei dare il file completo a qualcuno e magari potrebbe volerlo mettere sul suo sito, o pubblicarlo sul forum stesso, chissà ....questo solo per dire che vi sono veramente grata!
Spero ora che non vi annoierete ma continuo a chiedervi, purtroppo non riesco proprio a trovare altre fonti a cui attingere.

Proverò anche lì, anche se purtroppo le cose che non conosco sono davvero tante e non vorrei intasargli la lista, gli AMMIN mi sono sembrati molto severi....solo che non trovo alcun glossario specializzato da nessuna parte!
