>>17079597incidentally, why is it that people who call others ESLs often seem to be complete and utter cretins?
is this an american thing?
to be proud of knowing no more than one language, while also evidently being even worse at it than ESLs?
to think that language fluency somehow makes one more credible?
i propose a new insult. EFL. F stands for "first". correlates highly with arrogance, stubbornness, and general incompetence.
