@JTT,
Sorry for the delay. The boy's just come in from Ottawa.

Yes, I said it was unnecessary and that I’d trim it. I still would.

As for the rest of your comments, I'll give them some thought.

@FBM,

The other 10% didn't show much in the way of grammar skills, either.


And you have, in your limited time at this site? Look at the link you gave as an example of English grammar. Errors galore, but you, this "EFL teacher here" [spoken with a Ted Baxter voice of authority] didn't even notice them.

When I was googling around, I found a few examples of people saying 'more superior', sure. Guess what? 90% of them were ESL/EFL students.


Maybe you should learn how to use Google for your "googling around".

@JTT,

Dagnabbit, how could all these people be so wrong?

I'm surprised at The Guardian. And disappointed. Well done, BBC.
