That's quite generous of you. Kudos for your magnanimity.May I suggest that you try one of the tools here: The Best Language-Learning Software of 2017.That's what I need - somebody to correct my posts

Oh I already volunteered that.
I do it for anybody for the cause of ESL. And in trade I take tips in their language.
A Diploma Is a Participation TrophyCold War Empowers the CaliphateComrade Johnson , is Putin narcissistic in your opinion or just ruthless ??
Putin is our Czar. That's all.
Putin is the greatest Russian since Czar Peter the Great, who was also a little rough along the edges.
I think that Putin doesn't torture his rivals by himself as Peter did
But Putin is not the point, good English is the point

The posters are avoiding that issue because even our college graduates have a 11-year-old's knowledge of English grammar. They are all afraid to reveal that their education is a fraud.
... Our English teachers are too lazy to teach it. For decades, they've used the excuse, "You don't have to study this. You can pick it up easily by listening to the way educated speakers speak."
How much will you pay ?!
Me. You've already asked this and I've already told you.
My English is so good that my "mistakes" are on porpoise. Which is kinda fishy.
See what I did there?
Not only am I an experienced writer/editor but my spoken English is standard "broadcast" American English, which I had to learn for that profession. Although I can and do mimic a few regional accents if code-switching is called for.
I should add that I'm a linguistic archconservative. I'm probably the only person left still using the traditional spelling of Hallowe'en.
All y'allIt looks like nobody knows the plural of "y'all."
I'll give this a few days to see if any true Texan's knows.
Oh brother.I did not fully understand the English language until I underwent an intensive six month course in German at the Defense Language Institute. I do not consider myself an expert as English is a living language that grows and changes every day.
Experts cite all sorts of rules. In my 77 (nearly 78) years, I've learned the most important rule - What was yesterday may not be is today.

You do understand the meaning of EGOTISTICAL don't you?

Because there is always a group of people who don't like definitions, and create new ones, which make the old ones insufficient. You end up with grunts and curses and symbols.Languages evolve.

What is ironic is that they progress from complex and beautiful to more simplistic and ugly.

I say "humankind" when I am talking about people/peoples."Human" is another. If you want to change the meaning of "human" to be less inclusive, there's something wrong with you...and you are tearing at the fabric of your society. Not in a good way.
koshergrl what would be a logical hypothesis to explain how language started out complex to begin with through?Because there is always a group of people who don't like definitions, and create new ones, which make the old ones insufficient.

Like suddenly "life" doesn't mean "life" anymore. When you take a word that has a fundamental, important and accepted meaning, and then suddenly determine it doesn't mean what the majority of people understand it to mean, you have a problem. Communism, primarily. Totalitarianism, certainly.
No matter which form, if the definition of "human" is in dispute, it's meaningless.I say "humankind" when I am talking about people/peoples."Human" is another. If you want to change the meaning of "human" to be less inclusive, there's something wrong with you...and you are tearing at the fabric of your society. Not in a good way.
And I use "humans" when I am talking about biological species.
