What do you see as so amusing about this site?  I referenced it as having 
some quick definitions, particularly common vs. proper nouns, terminology 
with which Oun Kwon, not a native English speaker, apparently was not 
familiar.  The site simply looked to me like one of several which purport to 
help the visitor with his, her or its English grammar.  I personally saw 
nothing wrong with it, but then again, I didn't spend a lot of time on the 
site, so perhaps I missed something.
