Hey Seraphima, Again, you post was an inspirational read. Thank you for that. If you don't mind me asking, where did you teach ESL and for how long? It is really no surprise to me that you were an ESL teacher...your attention to detail and reflective insights are exceptional. Your enthusiasm is infectious and I would be honored to to share a Pocha with you. I may not be the best Moderator....not sure about the title and the job itself....lol Moderation in all things....especially moderation. Something like that.😅 I find we miss the point others are trying to make, and often intentionally. And to that point, what you wrote here rings true. "*Because English is so convoluted and native speakers and writers often have no idea what they're doing, there's room for a lot of...problems. Intentional problems.*" I have made this point several times, but each time only ended in angst and not debate. The art of debate seems lost, yet the art of *troll* is strong and everywhere these days. Perhaps, with a Grammar Pocha, we could set a pattern of accuracy in language leading to better communication...and that would be good. Again, it would be great to be a part of this, so count me in...all good. Peace.
