ReplyDeleteI was wondering if non-inclusion of enus was deliberate.
ReplyDeleteI too wondered since it is Incognito. But there were a few 2 part words to deny that assumption.
ReplyDeleteI have registered for ICL 2020. But unable to go beyond the registration page. Can someone post a link to the login page please?
ReplyDeleteIf you are using mobile, then drag the page to left, a little. You can see the menu symbol (colour combination makes it hard but it's there.)
DeleteThat colour combination is really irritating!!! :(
DeleteI was a victim of that wretched thing.
