Happily I did not need to take any such classes; was recommended to skip the classes until later University levels. Didn't matter though, I was just in for computer science and some IT stuff. Are you asking for a tutor, CAM? IZ looks eager Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F12

Just even a little punctuation goes a long way. But I don't usually point that stuff out, unless it's the great wall of text. Like my last GF said, who was an English teacher, almost half my age, "SO WHAT!" /o\ Not my GF anymore Kids these days... pfff Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F12

Webvan All Kill No Skill 11563	Posted - 2015.07.28 11:25:12 - [4] - Quote Ok, so to answer this question properly: no, in the US, I don't believe we do. Well, maybe there is, but it's hidden away for few to find, for those that even care. Not only is illiteracy an epidemic, I don't even think that the majority of new teachers really comprehend the language any longer. Schools are falling while entitlement is rising. It's all about how we feel now, and how we need to group think to come to even basic decisions. But it's not just the US, and it's not just language, but critical thinking in general is under assault. 40 years, no one can even put a man on the moon. Engineers are baffled how it was done. Such low-tech, yet they did it time and time again. Now? All the technological advancements, all the scientific achievements, we can hardly even get a payload into orbit. Devolution, while our computers crank out new stuff that we just don't understand. I'm sure there was a sci-fi book written on it at some point hah. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F12

That's news to me. I assumed that in all developed countries, mother-tongue 101 would be part of the curriculum far earlier, because it is with us and our neighboring countries. However... Yes, however... Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F12

Yeah it does go together as a single word, but "oo" seems problematic. Maybe "o-o"? I use hyphens in other words sometimes, just to be legible, though still not a very good fit here. Nobody, not noone, knew anyone else, in the forum thread where no one was invited to, and where no-one cared. Good explanation here. I speak American Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F12

I don't think I've ever used the word "womanly" in a sentence before. Let me google that: definition ... definition.. definition... definition... usage. Ok first page with an actual usage.

English seems to always be evolving or changing, at least how it is spoken in any modern form, which also can vary. But those words that do fall away from common usage, well they sometimes do find greater use in poetry or in the titles of books. A literary example of English words that have become uncommon in our era. I'm in it for the money Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F12

George Carlin may be funny mmm but that's about it. PTSD has been defined in clinical psychology since 1980. They didn't just rename it, but better defined what it is, as they figured it out anyway. For science! Other things, sure, but the clinical diagnosis of PTSD is pretty accurate and the name fits. I wouldn't even list it as an example. Not even as a 'non-traditional success'...
