All these types of learning ESL belong in the "English" forum. I have seen threads in "Forum Help", "Food" and various and sundry places where they definitely do not belong.
The other problem is the titles of the threads. I tried to address this on a thread of mine, and some people thought that I was evidencing less than a generous spirit.

I have been answering a number of the ESL questions. Sometimes I think that instead of helping these students, I am simply reinforcing poor net learning. You know, that "Give a man a fish", thing.
I don't know. These questions appear to be proliferating like rabbits, ( if I see one more thread about the difference between eastern and western breakfasts, I think that I may just join your dog.
Anybody have any ideas as to handle this so that we can help the students, and not go bananas while doing it?
Well, we can start by not always blaming the Wabbits!
:wink:
I dunno.
I had thought of including net hints when I answer....or keeping a list of a decent thread for each recurring question to link new questioners to, but frankly I haven't had the energy or commitment to follow through (mainly energy)...perhaps someone could open a thread to store such links on, that we can all refer to?
I guess if all of us who feel so inclined answer as many as we can...?
