: : words? I am referring to the Basic English created by C.K. Ogden. 

: See 'The Cambridge Encyclopaedia of Language', author=David Crystal, 
: publisher=Cambridge University 1987, repr 1992, ISBN=0-521-26438-3 hb, 
: 0-521-42443-7 pb. Page 356. The full list is included in a chapter entitled

Thanks but I really wanted an electronic version (preferably ascii text). I 
found the list in an encyclopedia.

: Best wishes,

: Roger.
