If you would like I could see about putting them up here or in the public forum of our linkshell's website or someone might be able to point you to a better collection elsewhere.
If at all possible this would be great. I've recently started to learn the language but I'm quite a ways away from effectively communicating at the current moment. That list would be an excellent thing to have if you wouldn't mind posting it or posting a link to it.
