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.
Quote: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".
