I have recently come in contact with Professor Sirles, who has recommended a book on Etymology, Where Do Words Come From: An Introduction to Etymology. While this book is not in print, I can potentially have him send it to me in a PDF format within the next few days.
Curious about the word Etymology, I did the natural thing and Googled it. I discovered that the word means "the study of the history of words and their origins." So, my topic has shifted from English specifically to etymology, which I think is good. More word on the book and its contents will be delivered soon.
Edit: For those curious, I recommend reading the Wikipedia article for further information. Also, another change to the mission statement has gone live.
