If you are like me (and, I know I am) you likely do not read the terms of service.
We are supposed to read the terms of service. We know we should. But, do we?
Speaking for myself, I admit, I rarely read the terms of service. Lawyers write the terms. The documents are too vague, too complicated, too confusing, too long, and most of all… too boring. I hate boring. Boredom is my kryptonite.
It turns out, a website out there will read the terms of service for you. TOSDR.org (stands for Terms Of Service Didn’t Read) sums up the terms and conditions for you.
TOSDR.org even rates the sites you are using and gives each site a grade.
Facebook and Vimeo, for example, got a D.
Wikipedia paid attention to the teacher and got a B.
Startpage and DuckDuckGo moved to the front of the class with an A.
Honestly, I am tied into most of the services I use. I probably won’t change my behavior too much. I use Facebook and Vimeo. I know they got a D in class. I will likely keep using them. Sigh.
But, if you are just starting out online, privately, or publicly, TOSDR.org will at least show you who you are dealing with.

Almost every Saturday, I send out a Tip of the Week. It’s just something I have picked up along the way that may make your life a little easier. If you would like to hear from me (almost) every Saturday, just go to the home page of my site and plug in your name and email. You will also get a free copy of my book on learning Latin (and almost anything else). Just go here: https://dwanethomas.com/
If you are interested in learning Latin, you can go through the classes on my site 24/7. I recommend the book Lingua Latina by Hans Ørberg. If you tackle the book and find yourself bogged down, you may find the classes on my site helpful. To join, just click here: https://dwanethomas.com/join/
If you want a more professionally filmed experience, check out the best-selling DVD series: Visual Latin.
Or, if you want to skip Latin, and just jump right into learning English words from Latin and Greek roots, you may enjoy the series Word Up! Warning. Word Up! is a bit wacky. You will learn a lot… but, you may find yourself rolling your eyes, too.
