PLAIN
ENGLISH
I'm
always very impressed by people who can speak English fluently,
because they are uncommonly rare. Those who pick up English
as a second language are often better at speaking it, since
they've not been exposed to our grammatically incorrect colloquialisms.
In an effort to make all English speakers more proficient
in the language, I've looked up the answers to several puzzling
grammatical questions and posted them here.
