Using English correctly requires a massive amount of knowledge
I am rather conflicted by this site, while it is aimed at ESLs and was created by ESLs those who created it seem to have an inflated view of their English skills and lack understanding of the poetics of the language which make it so versatile. Perhaps they are being pragmatic but I think they take it to the extreme and are not actually teaching how to learn English effectively but only teaching how to mimic English effectively. But does it matter? You can&#x27;t really learn a language until you live in the culture that speaks the language, book smarts must yield to street smarts at some point if you really want to learn a language and its nuances. I really don&#x27;t know, part of me thinks it does not matter, it is mostly about getting over that first hump so you can get into the culture that speaks the language and really start learning, but the other part of me notices the increasing trend of ESLs correcting EFLs without even considering that they might not understand.<p>I guess it is all part of being a native speaker of a widely spread language and the evolution of language. I am curious to see where it takes us.
