Speaking of my website, I still haven’t gotten around to verifying links. The last time I did so was several months ago. Typically, twenty or so links go “dead” each month, so there may be as many as 150-200 dead links on the site now. Of course, that’s still a small percentage of the 8,000 links that are there, but it can nevertheless be an inconvenience. I probably won’t get around to cleaning them up until December — if then.

They’re probably accessible to Intermediate English Language Learners.
